Reviewing and approving the deliverables

After the assigned user creates the deliverables, the leader of the functional organization reviews and approves the deliverables. If the deliverables are rejected, the system returns them to the assigned user for rework. While reviewing the deliverables, you can mark the completion state of the work package as successful or failed, depending on the results of the task. When the deliverables for the FWP are approved, the system sends them for review by the upper level management of the functional organization. Management can review and approve or reject several functional work packages at the same time.

Once a functional work package is approved by the topmost approval authority in the functional organization, its package is marked as approved. The execution state of the WBS work package is marked as completed once all the constituent work packages are approved. The completion status of the WBS work package is set to failed or successful if the completion status of any constituent work package is set to one of these statuses.

As a functional organization leader, you review the completed work package and review the deliverables, and mark the completion state as Successful or Failed.

The IPP&E solution provides the following sample workflows for the execution approval process:

• IPPE Execution Assignment Process — This process executes the work package based on the start date in the task info. It is triggered by the ipp0_schedule_execution utility.
• IPPE FWP Execution Approval Process — This process executes the FWP and completes the task.
• IPPE FWP Execution Management Approval Process — This process approves the FWP execution by higher-level OBS leads.
• IPPE Transfer Ownership to IPT — This process transfers the ownership of the FWP to the assigned IPT.
