Purchase Order Approval Window
Click the radio button beside the purchase order you want to approve, then click the Next icon to display the selected purchase order.
If the purchase order is correct, click <Approve> to approve the purchase order. Once the purchase order is approved, the system checks for any other required approvals. If other approvals are found, a Delinquent PO email listing purchase orders that require approval is sent after nightly processing to the next amount limit approver. This process continues in ascending amount limit order as each purchase order is approved until all approvers have received an email and approved the purchase order.
If the purchase order is not correct, click <Reject> to reject the purchase order. When rejecting a purchase order, an email will be sent to approvers listing the purchase order number, amount, comments, and a link to the purchase order that was rejected. If rejected, the approvers that were assigned are cleared and the Purchase Order will need to be corrected then resubmitted again for approval. Also, a Reject comment box allows you to describe the reason for rejecting the purchase order. Reject comments are mandatory when rejecting a purchase order.
If you want to approve the purchase order as well as approve it for others with amount limits lower than yours, you may click the <Approve For All> button. Once approved, the system checks for any higher amount limit approvals. If higher amount limit approvals are found, the next approver in line receives the Delinquent PO email listing purchase orders that require approval.
