Use this window to approve the structure changes that require approval. When an alternate part or serial is installed into a serial structure, and the interchangeability rule of the alternate definition is Qualified Interchangeability, a structure change approval is created. This approval record must be approved before the operational condition of the serial structure can be changed to Operational.
If an approval template has been defined on the alternate definition, an approval template will automatically be connected to the approval entry. All steps in the approval routing must be approved before an approval entry can be approved. If an approval routing is not connected to the approval entry, the entry can be approved directly, or an approval template can be entered.
All approved entries will be kept in the system until the serial that owns the entries is removed, or until you manually removes each entry.
For a description of each tab in the window, follow the appropriate link: General, Approval Routing.
