Configure the Signature Policy for Change Order Approval

You can configure a signature policy to authenticate users during the change order approval. This ensures that approvers are prompted to enter their login user name and password before they approve the change order. The credentials are also used to audit the approval process.

Here's how you configure the policy:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area go to the following:

   • Offering: Product Management

   • Functional Area: Change Orders

   • Task: Manage Task Configurations for Supply Chain Management

2. Select ChangeOrderApprovalTask.

3. Click the Edit task icon.

4. Click Access.

5. Signature Policy: Select the policy to authenticate users during change order approval.

   • No Signature Required: Users aren't prompted to enter login credentials during approval, and can approve multiple change orders from BPM Worklist.

   • Password Required: Users are prompted to enter their login user name and password. But users are restricted from approving multiple change orders.

   • Digital Certificate Required: Users are prompted to use a digital certificate (or e-signature). But users are restricted from approving multiple change orders.

   Note: If the change order is already in Approval status when the signature policy is enabled, the user doesn't receive the authentication prompt. If the change order is in Open status and the password policy is enabled, the user receives the authentication prompt when the change order is in Approval status.

6. Click Save and click Commit task.
