Start Sub Contract Revision Approval

Explanation

This activity is used to indicate that the sub contract revision is undergoing an approval process. The status of the revision will be changed to Approval In Progress to indicate that it is currently undergoing approval.

Modifications to the sub contract revision lines or items will not be allowed when the revision is undergoing approval, unless the Update Allowed During Approval check box is selected on the sub contract revision. The purpose of this feature is to avoid changes being made to the sub contract revision after it has been approved by someone else. If changes are required, the sub contract revision must be set back to the Planned status by canceling the approval.
