Approve Status Change
Explanation
This activity is used to approve a status change of a contract change order
(CCO). It may be necessary to approve in several stages/statuses of the CCO
before approval can completed and activated later for implementation. An approval
per status should be defined first in the Change Order
Approvals page. This approval per status should then be approved before
the status of the CCO can be changed.
For each approval per status line it is optional to define an approval routing
in Attachments. The steps in this approval routing can be entered manually
or be retrieved automatically from the
change type and the respective
approval rule
in Contract Change Management/ Approval Rule
page. To change the status of the approval per status line to approved all steps
in the approval routing should be approved first.
Prerequisites
- A CCO should exist.
- An approval per status line should be defined in the the
Change Order Approvals page. The
Change Approval Status field for this approval line should be set
to the status you want to approve i.e. Analysis in Progress, Analyzed, Submittal
Approved, Approved, Active, Closed or Canceled.
- An approval routing can be connected to the approval line above. This
step is optional.
- IFS Document Management should be installed.
- If approval per status lines and/or approval routings should be added
automatically to the CCO these should be defined for the the
change type
and the respective
approval rule
in Contract Change Management/ Approval Rule
page.
System Effects

in the Contract Change Order/History tab.
