After a change has been submitted for approval, workflow users with change approval permissions may approve or reject the change if the change cost exceeds the Approval Threshold Level 1 established in the Project Setup screen (Projects > Project SetupChange Admin) for scope, budget or forecast changes. For forecast variance changes, the thresholds established in the Forecast Admin tab on Project Setup screen (Projects > Project Setup Forecast Admin) are referenced.

The change creator and workflow users identified in the Project Setup screen (Projects > Project Setup Workflow Admin) tab screen are notified through email, and the change log is updated.

After the change is approved by the required level of approver (s), the change status changes to Approved and the budget is posted to the current budget and current forecast.

For scope, budget and forecast changes, the Change Admin tab on Project Setup screen (Projects > Project Setup - Change Admin) is used to designate whether change thresholds should apply to transfers. For forecast variance changes, the Forecast Admin tab in Project Setup screen (Projects > Project Setup - Forecast Admin tab) is used to determine whether change thresholds should apply to transfers. If Apply Thresholds to Transfers is assigned, the total value of the change is compared against the sum of change line items greater than 0. If Apply Thresholds to Transfers is set to No, the total value of the change is used compared against the established change thresholds.
