All the actions needed during this process (Process Update, Close Update, Correct Update andAuthorise Update) will be selected from the set of buttons on the right of the screen.

 

 

Each of the process update types listed should be completed, and the product must be authorised.  Launching of the product is complete only once authorization has been done.

 

A product cannot be authorized until the status of each process update type is displayed as CLOSED.

 

Each process update type selected will display a status of OPEN.  When the status is OPEN, you may generally update the data contained in it.

 

To change the status of the update type, highlight the description line that needs to be closed and click CLOSE UPDATE.  This will change the status from OPEN to CLOSED.

 

If the status of a process update type is CLOSED, and you wish to make changes, click CORRECT UPDATE for that process update type.  This will return the status for that process update type to OPEN.

 

Changing the status to CLOSED can be done as and when each update is complete or it can be done at the end of the process (or at any stage in between).
