About Configuring a Workflow

A workflow involves a series of tasks that are set up to acquire approvals from responsible groups.

Workflows can be configured to be simple with only one level of approvals, or they can be complex with multi-level approval processes. Separate groups to handle rejections and escalations, and monitor overall process can be included in a workflow.

Following are the types of workflows:

• Release Route
• Submit Disposition
• Publish Material
• Engineering Change Order
• Release BOM
