The MLP Approval process is automated so to save the time and frustration of manually sending and receiving proposals between service providers, general managers, and facility operations.
⦿ How to Access MLP Configuration
At the top-left corner of the screen, click the menu icon, and select Admin > Proposals > MLPConfiguration.
The MLP Configuration page appears.
MLP Configuration
MLP Approval configuration consists of three parts:
Email Notifications: Approvers in the MLP hierarchy are notified 24 hours before proposals are automatically escalated. Go to Admin > Users > Edit User Details to check the box next to the Proposal MLP Notifications and save the settings.
Only users with the Administrator permissions can turn on/off notifications for users.
MLP Levels: Hierarchical lists of users who are appointed to approve proposals and the location(s) for which those users are permissioned to approve proposals.
MLP Rules: The workflow of the overall approval process. MLP Rules are configured using a hierarchy of MLP Levels and diverging approval paths for proposals under differing trades and categories. You must create MLP Levels before creating MLP Rules. The best practice is to create all MLP Levels first so you can easily select them while creating MLP Rules. You may use the MLP Levels template to configure MLP Approval.
