Approval Log

Use

Use the Approval Log to see the record of activity for a measure set. The log provides a full audit trail that captures detailed user interactions, including time stamps for approval, rejection and uploading of measures.

Prerequisites

You are an administrator or user assigned to a workflow step for the selected measure set.

You are an Entry and Approval administrator to be able to view all approval logs.

To view and use the Details button, the system administrator has configured the EAValueAuditFlag Java System Property for the strategy management application in SAP NetWeaver.

Features

The Approval Log shows the following activity for the selected period:

The status of the measure set in the workflow process (released, data entered, approved, or rejected).
The owner who performed the activity for a given workflow step.
The date and time the workflow step was completed.
Any notes that were added when completing a workflow step.

The Details button, if available, displays a detailed log about data entered in the Entry and Approval Data Entry screen or Excel spreadsheet for the current time period.

You can see records for every data value written from the Entry and Approval Data Entry screen. If an entered value is changed (for example, when rejected by the approver) the previous value is also captured. Viewing a detailed log for historical data or target data is not possible unless that data is part of the current period. The data for quarterly or yearly measures is listed in the first month of the quarter or year.

Activities

To view the Approval Log from the Entry and Approval main window, click Approval Log. From the Measure Set dropdown list, select the measure set whose log you want to view. From the Period dropdown list, select the period to view. All activity for this measure set in this time period is displayed.
To view the Approval Log from the Data Entry or Approval screen of the selected measure set, click Approval Log to display the activity log for current time period.
