Submit Authorization

The authorization enters this step from the status 'Entry' or 'Change' when the action 'Submit authorization' is performed in the UI from the View and edit authorization page or Authorization In IP.

When an authorization is submitted the status of the authorization is set to 'In Process', and a status history record is added for 'In Process'.

If authorization is submitted from the status 'Change' all the authorization messages that are added by the system (authorization message with indicator processing set to 'Yes') are removed.

If there exist authorization pend reasons, which the user has access to, then they are removed. The authorization pend history records corresponding to the authorization status history 'Change', for the removed pend reasons get updated as resolved.

If a pend notification was sent out when the authorization pended, then the system also sends out a 'Pend Done' notification through Outbound Restful Service Invocation to the external system for the resolved pends.

If an open work item is linked to the authorization in any status other than Done, the system closes the current work item and updates work item history.

• If the open work item is on hold (ind_hold = Y), the system releases the hold and updates hold history before closing the work item.

For more information, see Work Item Creation and Closure.

The next step in the process flow is enrollment response retrieval and processing.
