Approval Status Administration report

The Approval Status Administration report displays the lock status of any reporting or consolidation unit. Users with access to the report can directly set or update the lock status.

The Locked by system administrator status is set through this report. This status provides a method to differentiate between units locked by the approval process and units locked by administrator action. For example, if some units did not submit their data on time, the administrator can lock the units to prevent late, unapproved additions to budgets.

• Three (3) represents data that has been locked by the system administrator.
• Two (2) represents approved data that is locked against revision.
• One (1) represents data submitted for approval that is locked against revision.
• Zero (0) represents unsubmitted data that is still open for revision. This data needs to be completed and submitted for approval.
• Minus one (-1) represents rejected data.
• Minus two (-2) represents data that has been loaded using OpenLink but has not been submitted for approval.
• Gray represents units that have not been assigned an Approval process relationship.
