3.3 Automatic Authorization

This topic describes the automatic authorization process.

If automatic authorization has been enabled for a function, branch and user profile, and such a user has rights for both input and authorize operations, any record maintained by such a user in the corresponding function (maintenance or online) screens will be automatically authorized when the Save operation is performed.

When automatic authorization takes place,

• The authorization screen is not opened. Authorization is considered as full or complete authorization, which would mean that all unauthorized changes to the record would be authorized.
• The re-key fields configured for authorization in respect of the function are not required to be entered by the user.
• Messages in respect of overrides are not displayed, but are internally authorized. Similarly, overrides requiring confirmation are also automatically confirmed.
• Any applicable online message are generated and displayed. The user can respond based on the error type – For ‘Ignore’ error types, the system automatically generates the messages; for ‘Override’ error types, the user is prompted about whether message generation is required; for ‘Error’ error types, messages are not generated.
• The user’s authorization limit is checked when automatic authorization takes place.
• The maker/checker validation is not performed when automatic authorization takes place.
