The term “Notification records” has been used to describe the records created to “notify” an approver, say for example an assignment manager of a pending approval via email using work flow. If on step one an approver is required to make an approval. Once the approval entities stage is set to Stage_waiting_approval, an approval record or notification record is created. This record has a status of “Ready to be Approved” as defined in the lexicon X_APPROVAL_STATUS. Up to Approvers also get a notification record with the status of “Approval In Progress”

!!Approval Screens
Approval screens include different types to define, view, maintain and approve. This is possible in both eP and Self service. Some of the main driving screens are listed below for eP. Self service has specific notation to the function name as WV???? and are located on several menus but generally in administrator or manager type roles.
!Define Approval Process - ([IDAP])
Used to create approval processes, steps, approvers and to view approval records.
!View Pending Approval Records - ([IDVAP])
Used to View approval records which are “ready to be approved” indicating an approval process waiting approval. This will show all the identities for each step which could actually make the approval.
!View All Approval Records - ([IDVAR])
Used to view approval details and approve if the user has approval rights. This function is dynamic and displays different details specific to the approval entity. The example below is for a personnel action.
!View Approval Records - ([DDAPR])
Details of approvals and notifications may be viewed by day.
The [Approval Bar and Approval Action Button Functions|APPROVAL BAR AND BUTTON FUNCTIONS] page provides a list of the functions with either an approval bar or approval action button.
!!DEFAULT FUNCTIONALITY
!Approval Stages
Approval Entities are managed by stages. Simplified for example - “before”, “during” and “after”. Each stage is mapped for each approval entity. This enables each entity to manage them selves to their specific business status descriptions. These are lexicon columns on the entity which describe their status or authorization requirements. The personnel actions mapping is given as an example below. For this example the “before” is stage_WorkInProcess, “during” is Stage_WaitingApproval and “after” is either “Stage_approved”, “Stage_Not_approved” or “Stage_Cancelled”
Personnel Actions – PA Status mappings translating from pa_status to approval stage.
|Pending |Stage_WorkInProcess
|In Progress| Stage_WaitingApproval
|Submitted |Stage_WaitingApproval
|Failed Update| Stage_Approved
|Approved |Stage_Approved
|Completed |Stage_Approved
|Not Approved| Stage_Not_Approved
|Tracked Copy| Stage_Cancelled
|Cancelled| Stage_Cancelled
Personnel Actions – PA Status mappings translating from approval stage to pa_status
|Stage_WorkInProcess| Pending
|Stage_Not_Approved| Not Approved
|Stage_Cancelled| Cancelled
|Stage_WaitingApproval| In Progress
|Stage_Approved| Approved
!Generic Approvals
It is not necessary to always define an approval processes. When simply a sanity check of the data is required and anyone or everyone is required to review the data on the approval entity before it moves to the next status value, generic approvals may be used.
If an approval entity is moved to the approval stage “Stage_WaitingApproval” and there has not been an approval process defined a generic 1 step approval bar will be displayed. Any user with access to the function and data may approve this type of approval. No approval records are ever created. The status of the approval entity is simply updated to the next stage upon approval.
A generic approval would be displayed as below with the right mouse click menu:
