Resolution
The existing Expense Report Approval process can be updated by delimiting the validity with a new process using the Copy button.
- Go to Application & User Management Work Center.
- Then, go to the Task Distribution view and click on the Approval Processes link.
- The Default approval process for Expense Report will be displayed.
- Select the process and click on the Copy button.
- Enter the new Process Name and define conditions according to your preference, then save the changes.
Once the new process is created and available in draft mode, the validity needs to be changed.
- The new process should be selected and the "Edit Validity" button should be pressed.
- The existing active process and the newly created process will be displayed.
- In the old process, the "Unlimited Validity" check box should be removed and the "Validity To" date should be updated.
- In the new process, the "Valid From" date should be updated (similar to the "Validity To" date of the old process) and the "Unlimited Validity" option should be selected.
Once the defined start date/time arrives, the new process will be automatically enabled.
