Approval Messages for Orders

After you enter an order with an assigned approval route, the system notifies those persons responsible for approving the order. The system notifies the first person on the approval route by electronic mail that the order requires approval. If the person approves the order, the system performs one of the following actions:

  • Sends a message to the next person responsible for approving the order.

  • Updates the order to an approved status (if no other approvals are necessary) and sends an approval message to the order originator.

If a person rejects the order, the system returns a rejection message to the originator. If the originator amends the order, the system restarts the approval process.

You can use electronic mail messaging (email) for the approval process even if you do not use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Electronic Mail system from Oracle on a company-wide basis. You can access the messages from the email form that is set up specifically for approval processing or from any email form on which you have a mailbox. If you use the approval processing email form, processing options enable you to determine which mailboxes appear on the form. This diagram illustrates approval processing:
