PeopleSoft provides mobile approvals using the Enterprise Component Fluid Approvals framework. Approvers can take Application Workflow Engine (AWE) actions on select PeopleSoft transactions pending their approval using the Fluid User Interface.
Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface approvers can review a list of pending approvals for asset:
Cost adjustments
Cost line additions
Cost transfers (including interunit and chartfield transfers)
Cost recategorizations
Cost revaluations
Fixed price markups
Addition reversal
Adjustment reversal
Interunit transfer reversal
Transfer reversal
Disposals
Self service
Mass Transactions
Asset Upload Spreadsheet
Approvers can access the pending approvals using the Approvals tile:
Approvals tile in the Fluid User Interface

Approvers can perform the following actions using the approval pages:
Review asset transaction summary and description.
View line summary.
Approve or deny the asset transaction.
Add comments for approval actions and view comments from previous reviewers.
View attachments related to the approval.
View the approval chain.
Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of notifications in one central location. Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.
For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.
Asset Transaction Approval Sequence
Asset transaction approvals follow this sequence:
A requester performs a cost adjustment, transfer, recategorization, revaluation, line addition, or other modification to an asset and saves the transaction.
The transaction data is flagged as approval pending.
While the asset is flagged as approval pending, users cannot perform further transactions on the asset.
The approver approves or denies the transaction.
Upon final approval or denial, users can resume transactions on the asset.
Assets Pending Approval
While an asset is flagged as approval pending, users cannot perform transactions on the asset. In addition, users cannot process depreciation calculations. When users load an asset with approval pending on any transaction component, the following message appears: Transactions cannot be performed on the asset as approval is still pending. Upon final approval or denial, users can resume transactions on the asset.
Approval Pending Flag
The Cost History and Print Asset components display an Approval Pending option used to indicate an asset is pending approval.
The Search for an Asset page also includes the Approval Pending option, but is used to search for assets that are pending approval.
See:
Pages Used to View Cost History and Summarize Cost Rows

Review Registered Components and Configure Page Composer
Use the Developer Registration page of Page Composer (Enterprise Components > Page Composer Administrator> Developer Registration > Registration) to review a list of registered components. You can edit existing components per your business needs. Registered components and the changes made to them are then available in the Toolbox panel in Page Composer.
Next use the Page Composer page (Enterprise Components > Page Composer > Page Composer) to edit the design of the Fluid Approval pages based on the registered components.
