    Hi @knsrinath ,

     

    You would need to cancel both the flow run and the approval. For the approval request cancel, I recommend you to follow the steps described in this blog post: http://digitalmill.net/2024/01/29/cancelling-approvals-with-power-automate/ 

     

    As part of this process, it is important to "isolate" the correct approval to be cancelled, as you will need to search for the approval based on a unique identifier (id, social security number, email...). I don't know if you are already doing it, but it looks like including the "Voucher No" in the Approval title would be a good idea, as it looks like a unique identifier to your records. 

     

    For the process to cancel flow runs, I still don't have an answer to you, but I will investigate and come back later 🙂

     

    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

    Hi @rzaneti 

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    At preset I am doing cancellation manually in Power Automate.

    Data Source as SharePoint.

    Power Automate - Standard License.

     

    Based on the users request need to provide a Cancel Button in Canvas app itself, So they will cancel before 1st approval.

     

    This will help users, if they have done wrong entries after submission.

    Please try to provide a solution this will help a lot for many App makers.

     

    Thanks & Regards
