15 Managing Process Management Submission Phases

Process management is the management of the review and approval of financial data. For the purpose of review, data is organized into process units, which are the combination of data for a specific Scenario, Year, Period, Entity, and Value dimension. During the review cycle, you perform actions on process units, such as promote, submit, approve, reject, and publish.

In Process Management, you can divide a data process unit into different submission phases to work with subsets of data. During the review process, you can promote each phase of the process unit rather than the entire process unit. This eliminates the need for additional scenarios to enforce the review process.

To manage Process Management Submission Phases, the UseSubmissionPhase application attribute must be enabled, and you must be an Application Administrator or Review Supervisor.
