    Overriding configuration for approval plans or groups

    On the Approval Plan Search screen, you can add or remove an override configuration. However this is possible only when the current context organization is inheriting the configuration from another organization. You can click Take Ownership to create an override configuration for the approval plan or group for the current context organization. Similarly, you can remove the override configuration by clicking Give Back Ownership.
    Note: As approval plans are document specific, "Take Ownership" action on the search page creates overrides for all the document types corresponding to base document type "0001" along with an override without document type, to perform a blank search. Similarly, "Give Back Ownership" action deletes all the overrides created earlier including the override without document type.
