Outstanding items that are under review

Modified items that have been flagged by Workflow rules will be changed to the state Under Review. Items that are set to Under Review are listed under a category called Outstanding Approvals.

You can view all items that are in the Outstanding Approvals list from the Workflow page.

When approval is requested, approvers will receive the notification email with a link to IBM® Maximo Inventory Optimization. This link will provide access to the Workflow module in the IBM Maximo Inventory Optimization user interface, where they will be presented with the list of outstanding items requiring their approval.

From here, all referred items can be reviewed. Approvers may then accept or reject each outstanding item.

Accepted approvals will be exported to the host ERP while rejected item changes will be discarded and the items reverted.

Under the Outstanding Approvals tab, users who requested approval for items can see which of their requested approvals are unanswered, how long each of these approvals have been outstanding, and which ones are the most overdue.
