Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the cancellation flow in ServiceNow.
If a Requested Item (RITM) is moved to the Cancelled state:
a) Will the associated approval and catalog tasks automatically get cancelled?
b) will the parent Request also get cancelled automatically?

Hi @katreddis , The behaviour depends on the configurations as well, but if you are asking for OOTB behaviour,
a. Yes, all associated Catalog Tasks under that RITM are automatically moved to “Cancelled”.
b. Yes, all related approvals are also cancelled automatically.
This happens because of business rules on the sc_task and sc_req_item tables.
If this answer helped you Please Mark this as accepted solution and give a thumbs up this will also benefit others as well.
Best Regards.
