Release of Data

Use

Once you have finished processing a record and do not intend making any further changes, you can release the data. You determine how you want to release the data when you maintain your profile.

Data can be released for different purposes:

  • You can release the data for approval . The data is checked a final time and approved by your immediate superior, for example. Approved data can then be transferred to the target components for further processing.

  • You can release the data without an approval procedure. Data can then be transferred to the target components without first having to undergo a final check.

Released data is assigned the processing status Released for approval .

Activities

Depending on the settings for your data entry profile, you use one of the following procedures to release the data:

  • Release on saving. The data is released automatically.

The system reacts in different ways depending on whether you have chosen to use an approval procedure or not. For more information, see: Releasing Data on Saving
