I believe that simply setting the Active Approvals field to NULL will unlock the record. I have unhidden that field on my CRQ view so I can "uncheck it" and then move the status of the change forward.

What we came up with is that I created a console (sort of like a data management tool) where certain individuals (ie the change managers) could perform the updates indirectly. The console allows for certain changes that the customer said were allowed - it pushes / creates the information for them. I had to do a fair amount of log reading to figure out how to duplicate / allow the updates. I also have an audit logging so that statistics can be gathered on how many changes folks were making. It's up to the POC from the customer to review the changes (they have a report that goes to them) and make sure folks aren't abusing it. Rather than fight the battle of arguing what is meant by 'best practice' I opted to just build this type of interface.

It's causing a bit of a storm for us as we go through our upgrade and our release teams are insisting they have to be able to add tasks and change other information even during implementation approval. Discussion about best practice are falling on , if not deaf, then unresponsive ears. I'm about to go in and see what's involved from a workflow perspective. -- Thank You, Chris Danaceau FINRA Confidentiality Notice:: This email, including attachments, may include non-public, proprietary, confidential or legally privileged information.
