What this solution does
The 'Document Approval Business Process' module (bg.bpapproval) by Background automates document routing. The approval process involves: a manager (initiator), designated participants, a lawyer, a signatory, and a secretary.
The manager creates the process by filling out the item card (document name, approval reason, participant list, file) and starts the procedure using the 'Save' button. After launch, the manager monitors the current process status in the business process section.
The process includes notifications about task assignment and approval results for both the assignee and the manager. Each assignee receives a task with a deadline of up to three days. Tasks are sequentially assigned to all participants and the lawyer.
Notifications appear in the 'Automation, Processes' menu as an indicator. In the task card, the assignee can view the process description and access the document for collaborative editing.
The executor completes the task without comments or enters remarks in the designated field. The approval result is automatically recorded in the document card's approval sheet.
If the lawyer approves the document without comments, the task is assigned to the signatory; otherwise, it is routed to the manager. The manager receives a task to make corrections. They can either continue the process or interrupt it with a comment. When continuing, the manager sets the document status: if approved without comments, it goes to the signatory; otherwise, a new document version is created.
The approval sheet records the version number, approval date and time, a link to the executor, and their remarks.
The signatory approves or rejects the document. Upon approval, a task is created for the secretary to print the document, apply all necessary signatures and seals, scan it, and record the scan as the task result. The process concludes.
