Project Approval Subprocess
The Project Approval Subprocess is called by the default PA Project Workflow process. In the workflow diagram shown below, the process activity nodes are numbered for reference in the descriptions that follow.
Following is a description of each activity in the default Project Approval Subprocess.
Start (Node 1)
This is a standard activity that marks the start of the process.
Notify: Project Approval Required (Node 2)
This activity notifies the project approver that approval is required for the project status change.
- If the project approver approves the project, the subprocess branches to Node 5.
- If the project approver rejects the project, the subprocess branches to Node 6.
- If the activity times out, the subprocess branches to Node 3. The default time for the activity to time out is two days. You can use the Oracle Workflow Builder to change the timeout value to suit your business needs.
Notify: Reminder, Project Approval Required (Node 3)
This activity sends a reminder notification to the project approver.
- If the project approver approves the project, the subprocess branches to Node 5.
- If the project approver rejects the project, the subprocess branches to Node 6.
- If the activity times out, the subprocess branches to the Loop Counter (Node 4).
Loop Counter (Node 4)
This activity counts the number of times the subprocess has branched to this node.
- If the count has reached the Loop Limit (a constant that is set in this node), the subprocess branches to Node 6.
- If the count has not reached the Loop Limit, the subprocess returns to Node 3.
The loop counter defaults to a limit of 1. (You can change the default value of the loop counter.)
After the activity reaches the Loop Limit, the process sends one more reminder. If there is no response, the loop counter stops counting and branches to node 6.
End (Approved) (Node 5)
This activity ends the subprocess and returns the result Approved.
End (Rejected) (Node 6)
This activity ends the subprocess and returns the result Rejected.
