9 Enable Op Approval Workbook

The Enable Op Approval step is used by planning administrators only. They use the workbook to enable and disable the ability of users to approve a quarterly original plan (Op). If the planning administrator disables the Op approval, users cannot approve plans to Op status.

By default, the Op approval is set to enabled.
