Approving requisitions

Requisitions are approved based on the approval rules. In this recipe, we will look at how to approve requisitions.

The requisition number 14337 needs to be approved by Catherine Baker.

Getting ready

We need to log in as the approver to approve the requisition. If you are using the VISION demonstration database, log in with CBAKER/WELCOME as the USERNAME/PASSWORD.

How to do it...

Let's list the steps required to complete the task:

  1. Select the iProcurement responsibility.
  2. In the My Notifications region, select the link to the requisition Purchase Requisition 14337 for Stock, Pat (25,150.00 USD).
  3. We now have the option to Approve, Approve And Forward, Forward, Reject, Reassign, or Request Information.
  4. Review the requisition and click on the Approve button to approve the requisition.
  5. A notification is sent to the requester of the approval of the requisition.

How it works...

Purchase requisition approvals are based on a hierarchy, which determines how the documents flow, based on approval limits and controls. Approvals can be routed based on employee/supervisor relationship or positions. Approval rules can also be defined using the Oracle Approvals Management Engine for purchase requisitions.

When a document is created, depending on the approval routing and the controls, the document will be routed for approval. Once the document is approved, the requisition is available to be used in the creation of a purchase order.
