Approving a Price Assignment for an Account

You can view the number of price assignments which are pending for approval in the Approve Price Assignment screen. The approver can review, and accordingly approve, reject or cancel the price assignment based on the observations.

Note: The system will not allow you to approve, reject or cancel a price assignment submitted by you.

Procedure

To approve a price assignment for an account:

  1. Click the Menu link in the Application toolbar.
    A list appears.
  2. From the Main menu, select Approval Workflow and then click Approve Price Assignment.
    The Approve Price Assignment screen appears.
  3. Enter the search criteria in the Search zone.
    Note: ORMB search engine supports wildcard search, where you can substitute the percentage (%) symbol as a stand in for any word or letter in a search criteria. You can use the '%' wildcard character in all input fields except the date and ID fields. The '%' wildcard character is suffixed automatically at the end of the partial search criteria. Therefore, you may or may not specify the wildcard character at the end of the partial search criteria. However, you have to prefix the wildcard character manually wherever required.
  4. Click Search.
    A list of accounts that meet the search criteria appears in the Search Results section.
  5. Click the Broadcast (The Broadcast Icon) icon corresponding to the account whose price assignments you want to review for approval.
    The List of Price Assignments zone appears.
  6. In the List of Price Assignments zone, click the Broadcast (The Broadcast Icon) icon corresponding to the price assignment whose details you want to review and approve.
    The Comparison: New Versus Existing zone appears.
    Note:

    By default, any modifications will be highlighted in the Yellow (9933FF) color and new additions will be highlighted in the Purple (FFFF66) color. You can easily change these default colors. For more information on how to set the colors used for highlighting, see Setting the C1_​AXENTITY Feature Configuration.

    Only those users who have access to the application services for each business object within the approval workflow group will be able to view the details of the price assignment request.

  7. Review the compared existing and new approval transactions.
    A message appears indicating that the price assignment request is sent to the approver at the next level in the hierarchy for approval. However, if you are the last approver in the hierarchy, a message appears indicating that the price assignment request is approved successfully.
  8. Click Approve.
    A message appears with confirmation on transaction approved successfully.
    Tip: Alternatively, in the List of Price Assignments zone, you can select the check box corresponding to the price assignment request that you want to approve and then click Approve.
  9. Click OK.
    The approval transaction is removed from the List of Price Assignments zone.
