Configure Password Policy for Approvals

You can set up a password policy to authenticate the approval process for quality issues and actions. This ensures that approvers are prompted to enter their sign in credentials before they approve the quality issue or action.

The credentials are also used to audit the approval process.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, select the Product Management offering.

2. Run the Manage Task Configurations for Supply Chain Management task.

3. Select WorkflowStatusUserDefinedApprovalTask.

4. Click the Edit task icon.

5. Click Access.

6. Select one of the following applicable policies to authenticate the approval process from the Signature Policy drop-down list:

   • No Signature Required - the default value

   • Password Required - enter sign in user name and password

   • Digital Certificate Required - use a digital certificate (or e-signature)

   Note: If the quality issue or action is already in the Approval status when the password policy is enabled, the user doesn't receive the authentication prompt. If the quality issue or action is in the Open status and the password policy is enabled, the user receives the authentication prompt when the quality issue or action reaches the Approval status.
