Define Approval Configuration for a Business Object

Use the Advanced page of the Approval Editor to define the Approval configuration for a Business Object.

Defining the approval configuration is typically done after defining an Approval Relationship and Approval Block ID field, but before creating Approval Blocks. For more information, see Define an Approval Relationship and Create/Edit an Approval Block.

• Options to determine when approvals are generated.
