Description

Information Type Description

Event Description

If the work order workflow approval option is enabled for a business unit or work order type, then when a user creates the work order and clicks the Submit for Approval button, the system triggers the approval workflow process.

Action Description

A user initiates the Work Order Approval process by clicking the Submit for Approval button. The user can access the approval map prior to submitting the work order for approval. The approval tasks are routed to each of the approvers to enable them to approve or deny the work order. If the approver approves the work order, the approval task is routed to the next approver, if needed. If the approver denies the work order, the Work Order Approval process is terminated. The user who submitted the work order for approval is notified of the denial and can optionally revise the work order and initiate the Work Order Approval process again. Users can also add ad hoc reviewers and approvers to the approval flow for a work order.

Notification Method

Worklist item and email.
