Hi Shaun,
Please check whether below information helps you.
In Application Base Setup\System Setup\System Definitions, Object properties, you have four different system parameters to define if you want to use automatic authorization or not for posting lines on work orders. The name of these parameters are:
• AUTO_AUTH_SIGN (authorization of time)
• AUTO_AUTH_SIGN_EXP (authorization of manual expense)
• AUTO_AUTH_SIGN_EXT (authorization of manual external)
• AUTO_AUTH_SIGN_TOOL (authorization of tool time)
All these parameters can either have value TRUE or FALSE.
TRUE = automatic authorization should be used.
FALSE = automatic authorization should not be used, i.e. all authorization should be done manually.
If any of these parameters are defined as TRUE, the value from the system parameter DEF_AUTH_SIGN should be used for the automatic authorization of that type of posting rows. The system parameter DEF_AUTH_SIGN will by default have the user SYS as value. This also means that the user SYS (or any other value) needs to be defined as a user on a company to be able to be used for automatic authorizations.
For example, you can create time reports for the Work order even Work order status is ‘WorkRequest’ and these time reports create personal posting lines with booking status is blank. This is ok because Work order status is ‘Work Request. The booking status of the above posting lines will change to ‘Authorized’ when you change the Work order status to ‘Released’ if the object property ‘AUTO_AUTH_SIGN’ is TRUE. i.e. when Work Order is released the existing postings (Personal) should get authorized if "Object Property” MaintenanceConfiguration AUTO_AUTH_SIGN = TRUE and DEF_AUTH_SIGN exists.
For example, if you check the manual authorization, the RMB Authorized selected rows will only be enabled if the work order status is Released or higher. The same applies for Automatic authorization as well.
Test Flow (when above properties are set to TRUE):
1. Create a work order.
2. Report time.
3. Release the work order – note that the posting is now authorized.
4. Do another time reporting.
5. Note that the posting is authorized.
