Manually recording the authorization decision
You can use the Authorization Decision field, rather than an automated workflow step, to record the completion of authorization phase. In this field, you mark the Change as approved or rejected.
About this task
If you want to manually record your authorization decisions, remove the Change Status action from the PMCHGAUTH1 or PMCHGAP1 workflow, depending on which of these subprocess workflows you use. If you are using custom workflows, ensure that this action is removed from those workflows as well. After the Change Status action is removed, you can manually update the Authorization Decision field after the authorization phase completes.
