Request Granting or Denying Approval

Request Granting or Denying Approval

When a request is granted approval or denied, the request recipient is notified by email. Notification may occur after approval or denial of a single approval step or once the entire approval process is complete. Requests can be automatically granted or denied approval once a specified time period has expired. The recipient is notified in the same way in this case.

To set up the notification procedure

  • Enter the following data in the approval step when notification should immediately follow the approval decision of a single approval step:
    Table 85: Approval Step Properties for Notification
    Property Meaning
    Mail template approval Select the mail template "IT Shop request - approval granted to approval step".
    Mail template denied Select the mail template "IT Shop request - approval not granted to approval step".
  • Enter the following data in the approval policy when notification should immediately follow the approval decision of the entire approval process:
