Work Order Request Approval¶
The Equipment Request Approval workflow provides a means to notify a designated approval group whenever a Work Request is generated. Work Requests can be either approved or denied. If denied, the original requester is notified by email and the request is closed. If the Work Request is approved, then it becomes an Open Work Order.
The requester is also notified by email. At any time, the approval status and approval history can be viewed by opening the request or the work order.
The first step to enable the approval functionality is to create one or more approval groups. Each approval group can be assigned multiple users that can approve the requests, and the approval group can be assigned one or more tooling reason codes that the group is responsible for approving.
