Reject a Record in the Approval Center

After employees submit records such as timesheets and expense reports for approval, an approver with the appropriate access rights can reject one or more of those records in the Approval Center.

To reject a record that an employee has submitted:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select My Stuff > Approval Center.
  2. In the search field at the top of the Approval Center form, select a record type.
  3. To see only those records that require approval (or rejection), set My Action Required to Approve.
    If you instead set this option to None, all records that do not require action are displayed, including those that have completed the approval process.
  4. Review and reject records:
    To rejectDescription
    A single record Under the Approval Action column, select Reject in the Action Required field beside each approval record. You may also select the check box of the approval record and click Reject on the grid toolbar.
    Multiple records Select the check boxes of the approval records and click Reject on the grid toolbar.
    All records Set Approval Options on the grid toolbar to Reject All.

    This action rejects all the records for the selected approval type that match the current filter selections.

    If the reject action cannot be applied to one or more of the records, an explanatory message displays.

  5. Enter a comment on the Reject dialog box and click Reject.
    If you rejected multiple requests, the comment is saved to all the records that you rejected.
