Modifying a Change workflow
You can modify the PMCHGMAIN1, PMCHGFIX1, or PMCHGFLEX1 workflow to meet the needs of your business processes.
For example, in the PMCHGMAIN1 workflow you might want to switch out the built-in
PMCHGAUTH1 workflow, which is used to manage the authorization phase, and use the PMCHGAP1 workflow
instead. The PMCHGAUTH1 workflow sends approval assignments during the authorization phase only to
the approvers who belong to the authorization level that you specify for this phase. The PMCHGAP1
workflow proceeds through all of the authorization levels in sending approval assignments. For more
information about the authorization process and workflows, see Authorization workflows and authorization levels
.
You might also want to modify the order in which a workflow processes the Change steps. For example, the PMCHGMAIN1 workflow has scheduling before authorization; some organizations prefer to authorize a Change prior to scheduling it.
