  Approval of a Status Change

Purpose

You use this process to approve status changes to succession plans. These are forwarded to you by a (restricted) succession planner who does not have the required authorization to approve the status changes.

Prerequisites

You have authorization to change the status of succession plans. You have this authorization if you are assigned the E-Recruiting Succession Planner role.

Process Flow

  1. You are informed by e-mail that you have received a request to change the status of a succession plan.

  2. You choose Approval under Succession Plans on your personal pages.

  3. The system displays a list of requests for status changes for which you are responsible.

  4. You select the relevant request and choose Edit Request .

  5. You check the request and then approve or reject it. If you do not want to continue processing the request, you choose Put on Hold .

Result

You have processed the request to change the status of a succession plan.

If you approve the request, the system sets the requested status using a workflow and then notifies the person who submitted the request in an automatically generated e-mail (see also Workflow for Approving a Succession Plan ). The refreshed Status Change Requests list no longer displays the processed request.

If you reject the request, the previous status remains unchanged and the system notifies the person who submitted the request in an automatically generated e-mail using a workflow. The refreshed Status Change Requests list no longer displays the processed request.

If you put the request on hold, the previous status remains unchanged and you can edit the request later. The request remains in your Status Change Requests list.
