Determining Approval Steps when Configuring the QA System

You have just configured a QA system and the dialog box Change System Attributes has appeared. You want to determine the valid approval steps immediately for this QA system.

Note the following rules:

• At least one approval step must be active for each defined QA system.
• You cannot delete the 3 default approval steps. You cannot change the type or the text. You can only set the approval steps to be active or inactive.
• If you define additional approval steps and have configured more than one QA system, you can determine if the additional steps are to be system-/client-specific (only one QA system) or cross-system/client (global).

1. After selecting Delivery after confirmation, choose Procedure. The dialog box Change TMS Approval Procedure appears where the default approval steps are displayed.

   If you want to define additional approval steps:

   1. Choose Insert Row. By default, the new step has the type Approved By User Department.
   2. You can select another type using the input help. If you select another type, you receive the default text for it at the same time. You can edit this text.
   3. If you have more than one QA system configured, additional columns are displayed (System and Client). You must use the input help to specify if the additional step is system-specific/client-specific or global.
2. In the Active column, select the approval step that you want to process for the requests of the relevant QA system.
3. Confirm your entries.
4. Distribute the configuration.

You have defined the approval step that is valid for your QA system.
