  • 1.  Need Help with Auto Approval of Contracts in WSTART Status

    Posted 05-10-2026 22:30

    Hello everyone, I am currently working on a process involving contracts in our system and need some assistance. Specifically, I am trying to understand how to implement auto-approval for contracts with a WSTART status when the current date falls within their active date range. If anyone has experience with setting this up or has knowledge of best practices related to this functionality, I would greatly appreciate your insights or guidance on how to approach this issue. Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards, 

    Wira

    Best way to handle this scenario would be to create an Escalation to monitor for this condition, which would then trigger an Action to change the status to approved.

    Escalation documentation:

    Hope this helps,

    You can create Actions with Value = APPROVE and use it to Escalation where condition is STATUS = 'WSTART'
