Automating Approval Processing

In Siebel Insurance, administrators can define a number of approval levels without the need for programming, scripting, or configuring. You can define both basic or multiple step approval processing levels based on the needs of your organization. You can invoke approval processing from a workflow or a run-time event.

Automating an approval process involves the following steps:

• Administrator defines approval items and approval stages.

  For more information, see Defining Approval Items and Approval Stages.

• Administrator invokes approval processing.

  For more information, see Invoking FINS Approval UI Service from a Workflow.

• End users approve or decline an approval stage.

  For more information, see Approving or Declining Approval Stages (End User).
