Activate Control Plan

Explanation

Use this activity to activate your Control Plan Manufacturing, Control Plan Purchasing, or Control Plan Inventory. The control plans must be in the Active status to be used. A control plan in the Active status cannot be changed.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.
