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 themselves 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”
