APPROVE PURCHASE REQUISITION LINES

Use this screen to approve requisition lines that can later be generated into purchase orders. Only those requisition lines within the approval scope of the user display.

Assign a user ID to an approval title in the Manage Purchase Requisition Approval Titles screen. You can assign several user IDs to one approval title. Each of these user IDs can approve the requisition line, as long as the user's minimum and maximum dollar limits are met. Then, assign approval titles to an approval process code in the Requisition Approval Processes screen. You can assign several approval titles to one approval process. Therefore, one approval process may require approval by many users.

You can also use this screen to reject a requisition. A rejection can occur for various reasons and causes processing for that requisition to be suspended.

This screen is accessible only if requisition approvals are done at the line level, where the Requisition Line option is selected in the Approval Level group box of the Configure Purchase Requisition Settings screen. Otherwise, purchase requisitions can be approved in the Approve Purchase Requisitions screen.
