Symptom
- Approval link from email opens in view mode for approvers instead of edit mode.
- Approvers are unable to access the Approvals page directly from the link.
- Approvers need to reopen the quote separately to approve or reject it.
Environment
SAP CPQ
Cause
- The user does not have the "Edit" action enabled for the "Other Quotes" tab for the "Awaiting Internal Approval" status transition.
- The system defaults to "View" mode due to the absence of "Edit" permissions for the approver in this context.
Resolution
- Under Setup, go to Workflow under Workflow/Approvals.
- Ensure that the "Edit" action is enabled for the "Awaiting Internal Approval" status transition under the "Other Quotes" tab.
- Test the workflow to confirm that the approval link opens in edit mode for approvers.
