Trigger an approval for time period conflicts

You can define an additional approval for a module which has time period conflicts and also has the approval functionality. The default approval definition is Approval Depending on Timeperiod Conflict, which is linked to the Approval phase. You can either update the approval definition as necessary or create your own approval definitions and link them to their corresponding phases.

The Change Management module is used as an example in the sample task. Follow these steps to trigger an additional approval for a change record.

Click Change Management > Configuration > Change Workflows.

The workflow list opens.
Select a workflow to view its detail. For example, Normal.
Click the Approvals tab.
Add the Approval Depending on Time period Conflict approval definition to the corresponding approval phase.
Click Save.

Note In the Approval Depending on Time period Conflict approval definition, the tpconflict in $L.file>0 condition indicates that an approval is triggered when there is a conflict between a change and an existing time period. You can customize this condition as necessary.
