Work Assignment Approval Code

Enter, or click to select, a work assignment approval code. Approval codes are set up in Manage Work Assignment Approval Codes and are used to control the approval process of work assignments at either the work assignment or charge level.

This field is required if the Require Work Assignment Approval check box is selected on the Configure Subcontractor Management Settings screen.

Status

Field Description
Approval Status

This field displays the approval status (Pending, Blank, Hold, Approved, Closed, or Rejected) of the work assignment. If approval is not required as set up in Configure Subcontractor Management Settings, this field defaults to Approved and is disabled. All charge and vendor employee lines for this work assignment will be set to Approved as well.

If approval is required, the default is Pending or the field is blank (if approval is at the charge line level). Only users who are linked to the approval code assigned to this work assignment can edit this field. If the user changes the status to Approved, all charge and vendor employee lines will have a status of Approved, but this can be modified.

If the work assignment approval code requires approval at the charge line level, the status of the work assignment will remain blank until all of the charge lines have a status of Approved. If the work assignment is set to Approved but the user changes one of the charge lines to Pending, the work assignment will be set to Pending. The work assignment approval status will not change if the user sets a charge line to Rejected, Closed, or Hold.

Hold means that the work assignment is not eligible for approval. The status must be changed to Pending before the work assignment can be approved.

Closed Date

This field displays the work assignment closed date and is populated by Costpoint when the work assignment approval status is set to Closed.

Approver

This field displays the name of the approver and defaults from the Approver field on the Approve Work Assignments screen.
