Is it possible to bypass the approval process for contracts?

[sharonalbertone]

I'm wondering if there is a relatively simple way to have the Submit for Review button to bypass sending the approval notification and the approval process and go directly to the Active state.

I'm confused as to what's controlling the actions after clicking Submit for Review when doing a Renew or Extend.

I found the UI action for Submit for Review but it's configured for new contracts where state is Draft.  I tried to modify it to set the sub-state to "approved", but it didn't work.  I think I may be missing some rule or script or something that is controlling the activities in this cycle.

Any assistance or direction would be appreciated.

May be this is changing the substate value?

The condition check definitions are scheduled to run only once a day and they're basically looking at the dates of making adjustments to the state and substate based on the start and end dates.  I don't think this is updating the substate as I'm editing a contract.

I finally found the answer to this question.  The UI Page for the Renew and Adjust buttons sets the substate in the processing script section.

I'll attempt to make adjustments to the processing script to bypass the under review substate and see how that goes.

Thank you for trying to help me.
