Enabling Approval and Signature Processes

All transactions can be associated with an approval flow. Approval flows are enabled by default but you can disable them through the user properties in the LS Pharma Inventory Administration Service. For more information about user properties in the LS Pharma Inventory Administration Service, see Siebel Pharma Developer's Reference.

The approval process is the standard Siebel approval process and provides appropriate fields to route the approvals to the various users and use Inbox for approvals. If the approval process is enabled, all transactions occur after final approval is received. If the approval process is disabled, the process is initiated on submission of a transaction.

All transactions by default also need the user's signatures before submitting them. However, similar to the approval flows, signature requirement can be disabled by setting the user properties in the LS Pharma Inventory Administration Service.
