77.3 Approval Review (P43080)

Processing Option Processing Options Requiring Further Description
DEFAULT VALUES:  
1. Status Codes:

Awaiting Approval (Required)

Approved Status (Required)

Rejected Status (Required)

You set up status codes for approval processing in Order Activity rules. If, for example, you set up stock purchase order lines so Order Entry is Last/Next Status 220/230 and the Approval Process is 230/240 (other allowed value 220), then:

Awaiting Approval = 230

Approved Status = 240

Rejected Status = 220

Based on the scenario above, any line in approval routing will remain at 220/230 until it is fully approved, at which time the system changes the status codes to 230/240. If the order is rejected, the system moves the status codes to 230/220.

2. Order Type (Optional)  
3. Budgeting Hold Code (Optional) You must specify the budget hold code if you want orders on budget hold to display in the Approval Status Summary window.
