Non-GxP documents follow a modified Draft to Effective Lifecycle. Unlike GxP training materials, they do not go through document change control. When it’s ready to be approved, you can send it for non-GxP approval.
Non-GxP Document Approval
To send a non-GxP document for approval:
Open the document and select Send for Non-GxP Approval from the Workflow menu.
Select one or more Approvers (any document user or non-GxP user).
Specify an Approval Due Date.
Click Start.
Once the document is approved, it becomes effective immediately.
Document Not Found Message
Note that if a non-GxP user approved the document, upon approval, they will see a Document Not Found message. This is expected. Remember that non-GxP users (except during the context of completing assigned training) can only view documents for which they are an owner.
Non-GxP Document Obsolescence Approval
You can send a non-GxP document for obsolescence approval in a similar manner. Obsolescence approval also only has one level of approval.
