Users must approve specific records (such as bills of materials, production routes, etc.) before they can be used for miscellaneous transactions. Upon approval of these records, the user can select any employee associated with the company in the Approved by field.
To comply with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, Life Sciences Supply Chain Management adds the Approved by > Block editing parameter in the Legal entities form, General FastTab (Organization administration > Organization > Legal entities). When the parameter is set to Yes, the system prevents users from approving electronic records in that legal entity on behalf of a different user, thus ensuring the identity of the individual who has performed specific operations is easily identified and the electronic record is accurate.
