Setting up approval procedures

You can create your own approval procedures if the default approval procedures for finding the responsible attestors do not meet your requirements. The condition through which the attestors are determined is formulated as a database query. Several queries may be combined into one condition.

To set up an approval procedure

  1. In the Manager, select the Attestation > Basic configuration data > Approval procedures category.

  2. Select an approval procedure in the result list and run the Change main data task.

    - OR -

    Click in the result list.

  3. Edit the approval procedure main data.

  4. Save the changes.

To edit the condition

  1. In the Manager, select the Attestation > Basic configuration data > Approval procedures category.

  2. Select an approval procedure from the result list.

  3. Select Change queries for approver selection.

General main data of an approval procedure

Enter the following main data of an approval procedure.

Table 30: General main data of an approval procedure

Property

Description

Approval procedure

Descriptor for the approval procedure (maximum two characters).

Description

Approval procedure identifier.

DBQueue Processor task

Approvals can either be made automatically through a DBQueue Processor calculation task or by specified approvers. Assign a custom DBQueue Processor task if the approval procedure should make an automatic approval decision.

You cannot assign a DBQueue Processor task if a query is entered for determining the attestors.

Max. number approvers

Maximum number of attestors to be determined by the approval procedure. Specify how many employees must really make approval decisions in the approval steps used by this approval procedure.

Sort order

Value for sorting approval procedures in the menu.

Specify the value 10 to display this approval procedure at the top of the menu when you set up an approval step.

Queries for finding attestors

The condition through which the attestors are determined is formulated as a database query. Several queries may be combined into one condition. This adds all employees determined by single queries to the group of attestors.

To edit the condition

  1. In the Manager, select the Attestation > Basic configuration data > Approval procedures category.

  2. Select an approval procedure from the result list.

  3. Select Change queries for approver selection.

To create single queries

  1. Click Add.

    This inserts a new row in the table.

  2. Mark this row. Enter the query properties.
  3. Add more queries if required.
  4. Save the changes.

To edit a single query

Table 31: Query properties

Property

Description

Approver selection

Query identifier that determines the attestors.

Query

Database query for determining the attestors.

The database query must be formulated as a select statement. The column selected by the database query must return a UID_Person. Every query must return a value for UID_PWORulerOrigin. The query returns one or more employees to whom the attestation case is presented for approval. If the query fails to return a result, the attestation procedure is canceled.

A query contains exactly one select statement. To combine several select statements, create several queries.

If a DBQueue Processor task is assigned, you cannot enter a query to determine attestors.

Query for recalculating

Database query to determine attestation transactions that require recalculation of their attestors.

You can, for example, determine predefined attestors with the query (example 1). The attestor can also be found dynamically depending on the attestation case to approve. To do this, within the database query, using the @UID_AttestationCase variable to access the attestation case (example 2).

Example 1

The attestation cases should be approved by a specific attestor.

Query:

select UID_Person, null as UID_PWORulerOrigin from Person where InternalName='User, JB'

Example 2

All active compliance rules should be attested by the respective rule supervisor.

Query:
select pia.UID_Person, null as UID_PWORulerOrigin from AttestationCase ac
   join ComplianceRule cr on cr.XObjectKey = ac.ObjectKeyBase and cr.IsWorkingCopy = '0'
   join PersonInBaseTree pia on pia.UID_Org = cr.UID_OrgResponsible and pia.XOrigin > 0
   where ac.UID_AttestationCase = @UID_AttestationCase
Taking delegation into account

To include delegation when determining attestors, use the query to also determine the employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated. If the managers of hierarchical roles are to make the attestation decision, determine the attestors from the HelperHeadOrg table. This table groups all hierarchical role managers, their deputy managers, and employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated. If the members of business or application roles are to make the approval decision, determine the approvers from the PersonInBaseTree table. This table groups all hierarchical role members and employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated.

Determine the UID_PWORulerOrigin in order to notify delegators when the recipient of the delegation has made a decision on an attestation case and thus allow the Web Portal to show if the attestor was originally delegated.

To determine the UID_PWORulerOrigin of the delegation

  • Determine the UID_PersonWantsOrg of the delegation and copy this value as UID_PWORulerOrigin to the query. Use the dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin table function to do this.

    select dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin(XObjectKey) as UID_PWORulerOrigin

Modified query from example 2:

select pia.UID_Person, dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin(pia.XObjectKey) as UID_PWORulerOrigin from AttestationCase ac join ComplianceRule cr on cr.XObjectKey = ac.ObjectKeyBase and cr.IsWorkingCopy = '0' join PersonInBaseTree pia on pia.UID_Org = cr.UID_OrgResponsible and pia.XOrigin > 0 where ac.UID_AttestationCase = @UID_AttestationCase
