What stamp initiates the routing process in DTS?

The stamp that initiates the routing process in DTS is the SIGNED stamp. This stamp indicates that the document has been reviewed and consented to by the person responsible for that step in the process. Once a document is signed, it indicates readiness to move forward, triggering the routing process to the next person or stage in the DTS workflow. This is crucial because it ensures that all necessary approvals have taken place before the document is passed along, maintaining the integrity of the tracking and approval process.

Other stamps, while also significant in the process, serve different purposes. The AUTHORIZED stamp usually denotes that the document has been given official permission but does not specifically initiate the routing. The RETURNED stamp indicates a document that needs further action or clarification, while the APPROVED stamp signifies final consent but comes later in the process after the initial routing has already been initiated.
