I am converting ISO and TS 16949 controlled documents created in Word 2010 to an electronic approval system using inserted MS Office signature lines and SharePoint 2010 approval workflow to route.

The problem is the document needs to display an effective date in the header which should be the date the last signature has been applied. Since the document is finalized after the first signature has been applied and the last signature could be applied up to several days after, is there any way possible to circumvent this and add just a date?

My only other solution is for the editor to estimate the effective date (after all signatures have been applied) and entering that future date before the document is approved.  This is not accurate and may cause a problem when audited.

Thank you very much in advance for offering any support or guidance.

Hi,

This is a quick note to let you know that I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.

Hi

Are you still trying to fix this problem, I tried to check if what you are trying to do is actually possible or not and based on what I saw it may not be possible.
