Editing the Input Value of a Process InstanceLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have super Business Administrator authorization role (SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin) and the required action (SAP_BPM_EDIT_CONTEXT) to make changes in the context data.

Context

You use this procedure to change the input data of a process instance that is in suspended state, and resume it with the correct values. A process instance goes into a suspended state due to data being entered incorrectly. You can only edit and change the input value of a process instance. If there is any error in the output value, it cannot be corrected.

Note

You can edit only explicit data objects (for example, process data objects). These changes are not applicable for implicit data objects (for example, task data objects).
