Flow execution is cancelled upon receiving request

[Mario Sanz]

Hello everyone.

We have created a new flow with flow designer for change request. Once, we've received the following error:

Flow Designer: Flow execution is cancelled upon receiving request. Reason is Aborting engine execution, cancel requested in same txn in which flow is running.

Anybody can help us with this error? We don't know why the flow was cancelled because the trigger conditions are correct. what object is invoking the error? business rule or the flow itself?

Thank you very much.

@gjz Thanks, this fixed my issue.  It's clear that if you use the stages in your flow, the stage placement is crucial in ensuring that the flow is not cancelled prematurely. By moving the "Request Cancelled" stage right before the "End Flow" step, my "rejected" steps could be completed before the flow was cancelled by the cancellation stage.
