Viewing the Progress of Inventory Item Requests Being Approved

You can see the progress of an item request going through the approval process in several places.

To see the progress of a inventory item request that is going through the approval process, look in the following locations on the Item Requests entry forms:

• The State field on the General tab of the Item Requests entry forms — This field shows you the state of the approval workflow: Start, In Approval, In Review, Cancelled, or Completed.
• The Step field on the General tab of the Item Requests entry forms — This field shows you which step of the approval process the item request is currently in. Step 0 is logged when a new item request is created, but not yet submitted. Steps 1, 2, and so on are determined by the steps that you add to the approval workflow for item requests in Approval Workflows Configuration.
• The Item Request lookup dialog box, available from the Item Requests entry form — This dialog box opens in the Search field. The list of item requests in the lookup dialog box has columns that display the state and step of the approval process that an item request is currently in.
• The Progress tab of the Item Requests entry forms — You see more detailed information on this tab for each step of the approval process and the history of approval assignments for an item request.
