First, the ECO, based on the ECO type in combination with the ECO priority, can be associated with an Oracle Workflow process. Once approval is granted, Workflow automatically updates the approval status.

Second, a simple approval list can be used, which sends an Oracle Alert to all those listed requesting their approval. Once approved, you must manually update the approval status.

The third method is to use neither of the above; the ECO needs no formal approval process and is given the status of Approved.

If the ECO is associated with an Oracle Workflow process, only Workflow may set the status to Approved. If the ECO has an approval list, you must set the status to Approved manually after the ECO has been approved by the appropriate member(s) on the approval list.

If neither is used, the ECO is set to Approved but can be manually rejected.

Table 1 - 5 describes the conditions under which the different approval statuses can be used:

Condition	Valid Approval Statuses
No approval list / no workflow approval process	Approved (default), Rejected
Approval list	Not Submitted for Approval (default), Ready to Approve (Oracle Alert fires), Approval Requested, Rejected, Approved
Workflow approval process	Not Submitted for Approval, Approval Requested, Rejected, Approved, Processing Error
