When an Extension Request is created, the Extension Request QA Approver is assigned an Extension Request Approval task. To complete the task, approve the request and update the due date, reject the request without updating the due date, or reject the request and return it to the Owner for revision.
Complete the following steps to approve an Extension Request:
- Access the Extension Request from the assigned task. Vault opens the Extension Request and displays a task banner with the task due date and instructions.
- Review the Extension Request details and click the source record link to open the record the extension request was created from, if needed.
- Click Complete in the Extension Request Approval task banner to open the Extension Request Approval dialog and select the appropriate verdict:
- To approve the extension request and update the due date, select the Approve - Update Due Date verdict, select the Quality Extension Approval Electronic Signature Approval Meaning, enter your User Name and Password, and click Complete. Vault changes the Extension Request status to Closed and updates the source record’s Current Due Date to the Requested Due Date from the Extension Request. Vault updates any task due dates accordingly for the associated source record.
- To reject and close the extension request, select the Reject - Do Not Update Due Date verdict, enter the Rejection Reason for why you are rejecting the request, and click Complete. Vault changes the Extension Request status to Closed.
- To reject the extension request and return it to the Owner to update and resubmit, select the Reject - Update Request and Resubmit verdict, enter the Rejection Reason for why you are rejecting the request and what the Owner should update before resubmitting the request, and click Complete. Vault changes the Extension Request status to Update Request and assigns an Update Request task to the Extension Request Owner.
