Understanding Fluid Approvals in Enterprise Components

The PeopleSoft Approval feature provides an option to approve transactions using a mobile device using the Fluid User Interface

Approvers take Application Workflow Engine (AWE) actions on PeopleSoft transactions pending their approval, but can do so using any form factor.

Enterprise Components - Fluid Approval Framework technology consists of; Enterprise Objects Approval Workflow (EOAW), Application Workflow Engine (AWE), and Enterprise Objects Page Composer (EOPC). A minimum tools release of 8.54 is required for Fluid Approvals.

In order to use the Fluid Approval feature, applications must utilize the Approval Framework, also known as Approval Workflow Engine (AWE). All transactions must be created in the database, and adhere to the Approval Framework logic and configuration within each application.

Fluid Approvals provide a convenient option to review and approve pending transactions, including these tasks from a mobile device, depending on the application:

• Approve, deny, push back, or hold pending transactions at the header level and the line level.

  You can perform approval actions for one or more transactions, depending on setup.

• Add comments for approval actions.

• View approvals that other approvers have approved.

• View requestor comments and attachments associated with the pending transaction.
