Which Orders Can Be Cancelled?
Orders the Customer/Sales Can Cancel (Self‑Service)
The following order statuses can be cancelled directly in Xvantage/CMP:
Scheduled: The order has been created and is scheduled to take effect at the next renewal.
Failed: The order failed during processing and can be cancelled without Support assistance.
Note: User permissions may vary. If the Cancel Order option is not available for a Scheduled or Failed order, contact Sales. If Sales also cannot see the option, raise a Support case for further investigation.
Orders That Require Support Intervention
Provisioning in Progress - The order has been submitted to the vendor and is currently being provisioned.
In this status:
Customers cannot cancel the order.
Sales cannot cancel the order.
Support must determine whether cancellation is still possible.
Support can cancel the order only if:
The vendor has not completed provisioning.
The vendor allows cancellations at that stage.
No irreversible actions have been completed by the vendor.
If the vendor has already provisioned the order, cancellation is no longer possible.

Cancellation is no longer possible
Reason it cannot be cancelled (Example: The vendor has already processed the order)
A return request may be required (depending on vendor policy)
