Hdr Approvals

What can I do in this subtask?

Use this non-editable subtask to view the requisition approval status information.

You cannot access this subtask if approvals are performed at the requisition line level (as determined in the Requisition Settings screen - Administration\Configure\Materials), or if the requisition is pending approval or has been generated into a purchase order.  

When should I use this subtask?

Use this subtask to view requisition approval status information, as needed.

Based on the approval process that you established in the Requisition Settings screen (Administration\Configure\Materials), you must initialize the Purchase Requisition Approval Titles and Purchase Requisition Approval Processes screens (Materials\Configure\Purchase Requisitions) in order to access records in this subtask.

The information in this subtask is only useful (and available) if your company's business practice dictates that an approval process exists. If your company has determined and established a requisition approval process, then the information in this subtask will be available for your review.

Field Descriptions

Approval Rev

This non-field displays the revision number.

This value represents the number of times the requisition status shifts from "R" (Rejected) to "P" (Pending).

When a requisition or requisition line has been rejected, the requisitioner can edit and save the requisition, thereby resetting the requisition status to "P" (Pending) and incrementing the revision number by one.

This value, therefore, is indicative of the number of times the requisition has been submitted for approval.

Sequence

This non-editable field displays the sequence number for this priority within this approval process.

For example, sequence "01" as the highest and sequence "02" as next in the approval path.

If approval titles share the same sequence number, the system will allow users assigned to each approval process to view and approve the requisition concurrently.

If an approval title has a lower sequence number than another approval title in the same approval process, the first approval title's users must approve the requisition before the second approval title's users can approve or reject the requisition.
