Approving Work Activities

Typically, planned work orders specify resource requirements on the related activities. Once planning is complete the planner can submit the work order and related work activities to an authorized approver to verify the requirements before any work or purchases are submitted. Authorized approver can Approve the work order, Withdrawal the Approval Request, or edit the resource requirements and approve the changes. Also, approved work orders can be reopened to add new activities and resource requirements and then resubmitted for approval. The status of the related work activities is changed based on the state of the work order, for example, Approving the work order automatically sets the status of the related work activities to Approved also.
