__UDAP – UPDATE APPROVAL RECORDS__\\

The new function ‘UDAP-Update Approval Records’ was developed to apply any changes made to approvers that are tied to an outstanding approval record (i.e. status equals: ‘Ready To Be Approved or Approval in Progress). For example, if an approver was terminated or on a leave of absence and a designate was identified, then UDAP could be run to update any outstanding approval records with the designate, so that they can be completed by the designate.

The UDAP process ''__should be scheduled to run each __''night so that changes made at various times during the day are picked up ''__or it could be run on demand __''(if required) when changes are made to the approvers on IDAP.

__Additional Considerations:__\\
* If an approval process is set up with an Approver Type of ‘Specified Person’ and the individual identified is no longer the approver, then the approval process will need to be manually updated to indicate the new person

* UDAP will not update the approver stamped on records that have been already approved. For example, if Sheila McAdams is set up as an approver in IDAP and has already approved a number of records prior to going on leave AND a designate (Shelly Woodruff) has been assigned, UDAP will update all outstanding/open approval records and assign Shelly Woodruff as the approver.  For those records that have already been approved, Sheila McAdams remains as the one who approved the record.  Again, UDAP will only update ‘outstanding approvals’ and not ones that have already been approved.

* If designate approvers are defined via IEDA, the system will automatically replace any approval records in IDAP with the designate.  UDAP does not need to be run in this situation.

* If an employee is set up as an approver and they’re terminated with a future effective date, UDAP will not update the approval records until the termination date has passed.  Once the termination date has passed, any/all approval records that the employee was associated to are removed from IDAP.  If a new employee is hired into the position that the old employee held and UDAP is run, the approval records that qualify will be updated with the new employee. 

* With respect to timesheet approvals:  If a timesheet that was put into a multi-level approval process and prior to receiving final approval, the timesheet was cancelled, any outstanding approval records will be removed from IDAP and the status of any records that had been approved will be changed from ‘Approved’ to ‘Approval Historic’
