Updating terms and conditions if approval is required

If a term and condition has a category that requires approval of updates, you must use an action to request the update after they are complete. The term and condition is routed for approval based on routing defined by the client.

  1. Select Supply Management > Supply Management Setup > Shared Setup > Articles And Terms.
  2. On the Terms and Conditions tab, select the term and condition.
  3. If the category on the term and condition requires approval for updates, then the fields for term and condition text and attachments are display-only fields.
  4. Select Update Term And Condition.
  5. Edit the description in the New Description field and click OK.
    The Terms and Conditions form shows this text "An approval request exists and is ready to be submitted."
  6. To review the changes to the term and condition, click View.
    The new description is displayed with redlining to help identify the changes.
  7. Submit the change for approval. Select Actions > Request Approval.
    The status changes to Pending Approval.

    View details of the approval process on the Approval Requests tab.

    If the Term and Condition is approved by all approvers, then the status is set to Approved and the updated term and condition becomes the current term and condition. Any comments that were created for the approval will show in the details for the approval request.

    If a approval request is rejected, then the approval request will show as Rejected, the term and condition text is not changed. A comment is required for a rejection, and will show on the approval request details.

  8. To remove the term and condition change from the approval process, select Actions > Withdraw Proposed Updates.
