What You Should Know |
Provide digital signature for audit result and thereby evaluate it |
Choose the tab page → Result → Valuate → Signature. |
The status Signature Provided is set automatically for the audit. |
Provide digital signature on closing the audit |
Choose the Status tab page and set the status Closed. |
If you have specified individual signature in Customizing, the system automatically sets the status Closed and Signature for Completion Provided on completion. If you have defined a multilevel signature strategy in Customizing and have provided the first signature, the status Partial Signature for Completion is set. The status Signature for Completion Provided is only set when the last signature has been provided. This means that the audit can no longer be changed. |
Provide digital signature for corrective/preventive action |
Choose the Status tab page for the action and set the status Confirm or Closed. |
If an action is signed off digitally, it is given the status Confirmed or Closed and can no longer be changed. |
Provide digital signature on closing an audit with outstanding actions |
Choose the Status tab page for the audit and set the status Complete with Outstanding Actions. |
If you set this status for an audit and a signature is required, the signature process is triggered and the statuses Completed with Outstanding Actions and Signature for Completion Provided are set. When you complete the last action, the status Closed is set automatically for the audit, without triggering the signature process for the audit again. |

From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Cross-Application Components → Audit Management → Start Audit Monitor. Select Audits as the audit component and choose Execute. |

Select Audits as the audit component, select status All, and choose Execute. |
In this case, the result list contains all the audits. Only if you select an audit with incomplete signatures and choose Digital Signature do you see the signatures steps with the signatures provided for the incomplete signature processes. |
