Which user status is used for project approval requests in GFEBS?

The user status that is specifically used for project approval requests in GFEBS is RAPP. This status is crucial as it indicates that a project is in the process of seeking approval. When a project is marked with the RAPP user status, it signals to stakeholders and project managers that permissions or approvals are pending, allowing for the appropriate tracking and management of the approval process.

Utilizing the RAPP status helps in organizing workflow and ensures that all necessary approvals are obtained before proceeding further in the project lifecycle. This clarity is essential for maintaining compliance with project management protocols and for effective oversight within the GFEBS system.

In contrast, other statuses like REL (released), APPD (approved), or TECO (technically completed) serve different purposes within project management. REL indicates that a project is ready for execution, APPD signifies that the project has been formally approved, and TECO denotes that the project has reached a point where no further work is necessary. Therefore, RAPP is the only status specifically tied to the approval request process.
