Approval Routings

Use an approval routing to maintain a list of reviewers who should receive an electronic mail notification of pending ECOs.

You can set up two types of approval routing:

  • Approval routing master.

    The approval routing master applies to a specific branch/plant and order type combination.

  • Order-specific approval routing.

    An order-specific approval routing applies to a specific ECO.

After you set up an approval routing master for the branch/plant, you can customize the routing for a specific ECO.

The system notifies all of the reviewers in a group at the same time. The system notifies the groups in the order that is defined within the UDC. The codes do not have to be numeric. The system waits to send notification to a group until all of the members in the prior group have approved the ECO.
