ISS Approval (Quote) Workflow

ISS Approval (Quote) workflow, shown in Figure 26, validates approval rules and creates approval items if necessary.

It is triggered when the user selects the Generate Approvals menu item on the Quote Header applet menu. This menu item raises the ApproveItem Signal, which calls this workflow.

Workflow Description. This workflow does the following:

1. Validation Service. Calls the Validate method of the Data Validation Manager Business Service, which validates the Quote based on the Rule Sets that were defined. For more information, see Validate Method.
2. Exception Found. If the validation service returns a null, the workflow ends.
3. Approval Business Service. If it returns a non-null value, workflow invokes CreateNewApprovalTasks method, which creates a new approval task for the quote. For more information, see CreateNewApprovalTasks Method.
4. Refresh Applet. Calls the Refresh Business Component method of the SIS OM PMT Service Business Service, which refreshes the Quote, so the approval items appear in the approvals view.
