Can pending draft document edit by approvals?

[Former Member]

Hi all expert,

I would like to ask your about the pending draft document. Can it be allow edit by approvals(The person who allow approve the document)?

Example:

new Purchase Order create by originator, when the approvals received the message & want to revised the amount in the purchase order. Can he/she amend the document amount or quantity?

It doesn't make sense where the manager cannot revise the document created by users. Right?

Hi,

The manager who approves the draft document can modify the draft and approve it.

Once approved or rejected, the originator of the document can only process it, i mean post /cancel the document.

Hope your doubt is cleared.

Hi

I think so .He can take a look from alert window and make necessary change and post it .

I think in alert window ,you need to dbl click on the message and you will see the doocument number and you can link to document and make some changes and post it .

I donot have test environment to test but i think it should be fine .

Originator cannot make changes in the document while it is in process . That's for sure.

Thank you

hi,

Check this link of EOP.

Why a draft document in an approval process cannot be modified by the originator?
