Objective 

To approve an owner progress claim in the Project level Invoicing tool with and without the Workflows tool. 

Background 

The steps you use to approve an owner progress claim depend on whether your team has enabled the Workflows tool and configured a custom Owner Progress Claim workflow.  

Examples

When the Workflows Tool is Disabled

If Workflows is disabled, a user can simply change the progress claim status to 'Approved'. 

When the Workflows Tool is Enabled

If enabled, you can click the Start Workflow button to route the owner progress claim through your custom approval workflow. 

Things to Consider 

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To approve an owner progress claim without an Owner Progress Claim workflow: 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Head Contracts tool. 
    • To approve an owner progress claim with an Owner Progress Claim Workflow: You must be the assigned Workflow Approver on the response step of the custom workflow. 
  • Additional Information:
    • To learn more about the Workflows tool, see Workflows.
    • To learn more about owner progress claims, see Invoicing.

Steps 

The steps you follow depend on whether the Workflows tool is enabled or disabled in your environment.
