Requisition Approvals

The Requisition Approvals option in Accounts Payable is utilized by designated users to approve requisitions that have been submitted for approval.  The approval process for requisitions follows the hierarchy (approval sequences) as defined with the approval trees assigned to the requisitions.  If a requisition is rejected by one approver on the approval tree within the Requisition Approvals option, the requisition will not proceed to the next approval sequence on the approval tree, and will instead be sent back to the submitter.  If applicable, the fields defined to be edited (within the Requisition Options option) can be changed within the Requisition Approvals option.  If a change is made to a requisition in the Requisition Approvals option for a field defined with the Requires Restart of Approval field selected in the Requisition Options option, the requisition will be sent back to the first sequence on the approval tree.

If the system is set up to send notification emails for requisitions (in the Email Manager option), upon closing the Requisition Approvals option, emails will be sent to the appropriate users with the next approval sequences as the requisitions flow through the approval trees, to the users who submitted the requisitions once completely processed (received final approval or rejected), to the prior approvers and/or submitter if requisitions were changed (if applicable), and to the users who are designated to receive an email for requisitions that received final approval.
