Next figure introduces the general entity finalizing process.
The process of GS1 identifier-based entity status changing and finalizing is as follows:
Entity is in status Draft.
User, having entity approval rights, sends entity to approve. Entity status changes into Waiting for Approval. Entity edit is not permitted from this point.
StandardManager system sends an email message to all users who has corresponding rights to tell them to approve entities.
User steps into entity edit page by clicking on link which is in the received email. In edit page there is possible to approve or refuse entity.
StandardManager sends a new email about new status of entity to the corresponding user.
User steps into entity edit page and finalize entity or sends it back to status draft.
To set the details of finalizing process, go to Settings/Entity finalize settings.
