Workflow Status

The status that is applicable for the business object requires authorization using ION Workflow.

When you perform a change that requires authorization, a checked-out version is created for the business object. These changes are effective only after the approval/check-in. You can also undo these changes, or recall the changes submitted.

Checked-out and checked-in objects are displayed in the Checked-out Objects (ttocm9599m000) session.
From the appropriate menu of this session, select Workflow and then select the required action for the business object.

Allowed values

Draft: The object is checked out. It can be changed and saved multiple times until the user submits the changes.
Pending: Any changes made to the object are submitted. The object is pending for approval. The data of the object cannot be modified.
Recall Requested: The object was already submitted, but is recalled by the user. Approval will not take place anymore. If the recall is accepted, the object status becomes Draft (Revision). If the Recall is rejected, the object status becomes Pending.
Draft (Revision): The object was recalled after it was submitted and the recall is accepted. The object can be changed and saved multiple times until the user submits the changes.
Rejected: The submitted changes to the object are rejected. The user can make changes to the object and submit these changes again, or discard all changes.
Approval Received: The submitted changes to the object are approved. The object will automatically be checked in. If the check-in fails, the status remains Approval Received. An administrator must decide what to do with the object.
Approved: The submitted changes to the object are approved and the object is checked in.
Not Applicable: The object is checked in. Instead of an Object status, an Approval status is applicable.
