Rejecting an Approval 

Use

If some decision makers did not approve a phase by rejecting their individual approvals, you reject the approval too, as a rule. You can check the individual decisions on the Decision Maker tab page in the Decision column.

You can approve a phase despite not all individual approvals having been granted if your system administrator made the appropriate settings.

Prerequisites

·         You opened a project for processing (see Opening a Project or Project Version).

·         You selected a phase in the structure tree of the project and are on the Approval tab page.

       3.      Open the Basic Data tab page.

       4.      Choose Complete from the Change Status dropdown box.
