Completing approval processes
If the approval process does not have the Enable approval auto completion flag enabled, only the owner can change its status to Completed. Marking approval processes complete helps organize approval processes. Approval processes with a status of Completed display only in the All Approvals view.
Unless the approval was created with the Enable approval auto completion flag enabled, it is entirely up to the approval owner as to when to complete the approval. If auto-completion is enabled, the approval is automatically marked Completed when the last required approver approves.
Marking the approval process complete signifies that the review is finished. The following are some examples of when you might want to mark an approval as complete.
*
After all approvers respond
*
After the Target Due Date passes
*
After all suggested changes to approval items are made
1.
Open the approval process that you want to complete.

3.
Enter a comment about why you want to complete the review in the Approvals window, and click Continue.
The approval now has a status of Completed; IBM® Marketing Operations sends a notification that the approval process is finished.
