Manage Approval Conditions

The Manage Approval Conditions (IWF07) page includes a set of transaction fields with conditions for evaluation that can be used to define a workflow rule. Each approval condition consists of a maximum of five sub-conditions. During approval processing, these five sub-conditions are logically linked together with AND statements to the single approval condition. Approval conditions cannot contain fields from more than one transaction component unless one of the components is the Header.

Field InformationField Information

Field	Description
Condition ID	A unique identifier entered to identity the condition.
Transaction Code	A required Transaction Code that instructs the system what to allow in the Left and Right Hand Side fields as defined on the Manage Approval Fields page.
Type	The type of comparison determines how the Left and Right Hand Sides are compared and if the comparison is to use the prior transaction version. Actual Value – Will compare the Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side Field or Value with the same transaction version. Delta Change – Will compare the Left Hand Side field in the current and prior transaction version and the delta difference (if any) is compared against the Right Hand Side Value. Percent Change – Will compare the Left Hand Side field in the current and prior transaction version and the percent difference (if any) is compared against the Right Hand Side Value. Absolute Delta Change – Will compare the Left Hand Side field in the current and prior transaction version and the absolute value of the delta difference (if any) is compared against the Right Hand Side Value. Absolute Percentage Change - Will compare the Left Hand Side field in the current and prior transaction version and the absolute value of the percent difference (if any) is compared against the Right Hand Side Value. Types other than Actual Value are intended to be used for Amount and Quantity type of fields.
Left Hand Side	The field selected for comparison as previously defined on the Manage Approval Fields page.
Operand	A comparison requires an operand in order to compare the Left Hand Side field against the Right Hand Side Field or Value. Valid values include (<, >, =, <>, <=, >=, In List, and Not In List). If the Operator selected is either In List or Not in List, multiple values can be entered in the Right Hand Side field. If the Operator is In List, multiple values will be evaluated in an OR statement. If the Operator is Not In List, multiple values will be evaluated in an AND statement.
Right Hand Side Value	Enter the evaluation value for the Left Hand Side. For text values, be sure to enclose the value in quotation marks (for example, “Test Value”), and for Yes/No values, specify the value as “true” or “false”. If the Operand selected is In List or Not In List, then commas must separate multiple values.
Right Hand Side Field	This field can be populated only if no value is provided in the Right Hand Side Value field to compare the Left and Right Hand Side fields as Actual Value. The Right Hand Side values are filtered to display only those fields within the same component (or the transaction header) as that selected in the Left Hand Side.
