Starting the Approval Process 

Procedure

  1. Choose Appropriation requests ® Edit appropriation requests ® Change.

    2. The screen for master data maintenance of the appropriation request appears.

  2. Choose the Control data tab page.
  3. Choose the For approval pushbutton.

    4. If you created more than one variant for the appropriation request, a dialog box appears. Select the variant you want. For the other variants, set the Reject indicator. The system sets the status of your selected variant to For approval.

    If the appropriation request only has one variant, the system sets the status immediately.

    As soon as one of the variants receives For approval status, the other variants of the appropriation request are prevented from receiving this status. Before you save, you can still return the status to its original setting using the pushbutton.

  4. Save. This initiates the approval process.
