Use the following procedure to determine the approver through a cost center given in the request.
Approval procedure | Approver |
---|---|
PP |
A cost center is entered in the request. The cost center is assigned a manager. The manager of the given cost center is established as approver. |
PR |
A cost center is entered in the request. The cost center is assigned an application role in the Role approver menu. all secondarily assigned employees of this application role are determined to be approvers, Approvers are determined following the same method as described in Using an Approval Role to Find Approvers. |
PI |
A cost center is entered in the request. The cost center is assigned an application role in the Role approver (IT) menu. all secondarily assigned employees of this application role are determined to be approvers, Approvers are determined following the same method as described in Using an Approval Role to Find Approvers. |

DP |
A department is entered in the request. The department is assigned a manager. The manager of the given department is established as approver. |
DR |

DI |

The department is assigned an application role in the Role approver (IT) menu. all secondarily assigned employees of this application role are determined to be approvers, Approvers are determined following the same method as described in Using an Approval Role to Find Approvers. |
If membership in or assignment to a hierarchical role is requested and the manager of the requested role should be the approver, use the approval procedure "MS". Then the manager and deputy of the requested department, cost center, business role or location are determined as the approvers. This approval procedure can only be used for assignment requests.
|
NOTE: Only one approval step can be defined with the approval procedure "WC" per approval level. |
You can use deferred approval (approval procedure "WC") within an approval process, to ensure that a defined prerequisite is fulfilled before the request is approved. Therefore the approval of a permissions group request should only take place if the corresponding user account exists. Deferred approval is useful when a request should be tested with respect to rule conformity. If the user account does not exist when the requested permissions groups are tested, any rule violations that may occur due to the request will not be logged.
You can specify which prerequisites have to be fulfilled so that a request can be presented for approval by defining an appropriate condition. The condition is evaluated as a function call. The function must accept the request UID as parameter (PersonWantsOrg.UID_PersonWantsOrg). It must define three return values as integer. One of the following actions is carried out depending on the function‘s return value:
Return value | Action |
---|---|
Return value > 0 |
The condition is fulfilled. Deferred approval has completed successfully. The next approval step (in case of success) is carried out. |
Return value = 0 |
The condition is not yet fulfilled. Approval is rolled back and is retested the next time DBQueue Processor runs. |
Return value < 0 |
The condition is not fulfilled. Deferred approval has failed. The next approval step (in case of failure) is carried out. |
To use an approval procedure
SQL Server: |
dbo.<function name> |
Oracle Database: |
<database schema name>.<function name> |
To check whether the necessary user account exists when the permissions group is requested, you can use the function TSB_FGIPWODecisionForGroup which is supplied.
Single step: | Waiting Condition |
Approval procedures: | WC - Waiting for further approval |
Condition: | dbo.TSB_FGIPWODecisionForGroup |
Number of approvers: | 1 |
Return value | Action |
---|---|
Return value > 0 |
The user account exists, thus fulfilling the condition. The delayed approval is decided positively. The request is passed onto the next approval step. Now an approval step must follow which can establish the approvers for the request. |
Return value = 0 |
The condition is not fulfilled. There is an open request for a user account or the employee has an account definition with which a user account could be created. Approval is, therefore, deferred and tested again on the next DBQueue Processor run. |
Return value < 0 |
The condition is not fulfilled. There is no request for a user account and the employee does not have an account definition with which a user account could be created. The delayed approval is decided negatively. The request is passed onto the next approval step. |
