Delivered Approval Flows

The Approval Framework controls the approval processes for both manager and employee transactions. PeopleSoft delivers fully configured approval processes (including WIP statuses) for all of the U.S. federal self-service transactions. As long as you use the delivered approval processes, no additional configuration is necessary, but you can use the common Approval Framework pages to review (or modify) the delivered configuration.

Approval Framework Process Definitions

These are the Approval Framework process definitions for the PeopleSoft eProfile federal transactions:

Transaction	Approval Framework Process ID
Name change	FederalNameChg
Address change	FederalAddrChg
Marital status change	FederalMarChg

Approval Framework process definitions include steps for each approver. (The initial request does not get defined as a step.) All three of the delivered process definitions provide a two-step approval process, and each approver has the option to approve or deny the transaction. If either approver denies the transaction, the system closes the request and notifies the originator of the denial.

If both approvers approve the transaction, the system updates the PAR tables (the Federal Job, Federal Personal Data, and the employee tracking tables), which in turn triggers a workflow notification to the person assigned to the Personnelist role.
