Promoting ECO Activities
ECO activities represent phases or milestones associated with an ECO. You can promote the activities independently or in coordination with workflow approval processing. As an example, if you are not using workflow, you can still set up the static list and promote or demote the ECO. The system ensures that if activities exist, they all must be promoted before the ECO can be approved. If you are using both workflow and activities, the system routes the ECO workflow to the various steps and role users based on workflow-defined rules.
While you probably want to use one method or another, you could also independently continue to promote the ECO through the static list of activities.
This topic discusses how to promote ECO activities.

|---|---|
Promote |
Click to change the current status from Pending to Approved and to advance the ECO to the next activity within the sequence of ECO activities listed. Once all ECO activities have been approved and promoted, you can approve the ECO itself. |
Demote |
Click to change the current activity to the previous activity listed, thus demoting the ECO. When you demote an ECO, the system automatically resets the status of the activity being demoted to Pending. |
Note: Promoting and demoting ECOs has no effect on PeopleSoft Workflow approval processing.
