PCO Approval

You can approve PCOs after all of the information on them is complete. You approve a PCO by changing the status code for the PCO to the code that is specified in the processing options as the code indicating that the PCO is approved.

In general, you change the PCO status to approved only if all of the accounts on the attached change requests are also approved or are ready to be approved when you approve the PCO. Before you can approve a PCO, all of the accounts on all change requests that are attached to the PCO must have a final monetary amount.

When you approve a PCO, the system displays the Global Status Update form. The Global Status Update form lets you specify which account types on the change requests that are attached to the PCO you want to update to an approved status.

Note: After you approve a PCO, you cannot make any changes to it.
