APPROVAL PROCESS

Use this non-editable subtask to view the approval status information of the requisition. You cannot access this screen if approvals are done at the requisition line level (as determined in the Requisition Settings screen).  If applicable, you must establish Requisition Approval Title settings and Requisition Approval Processes in order to track requisition approvals.

Buyers can use this subtask to reject a previously approved requisition. To reject a requisition, select the New Line button on the toolbar and enter a sequence number, approval title, employee ID, and a reason for rejection. This action sends the requisition back through its entire approval process.

You can view information in this subtask after assigning an approval process to the requisition. Buyers can use this subtask to reject previously approved requisitions.
