Requisition Approval

Requisition Approval allows supervisory staff within the same organization to review online purchase requisitions before forwarding them to the central offices. During the Requisition Approval process, supervisors may skip, reject, or approve an online requisition just as they would a paper requisition. Once the reviewer approves an online requisition, which is comparable to signing a paper requisition, the requisition moves to the next review process instantly.

Technically, a requisition could be reviewed within the department's organizational hierarchy as many as six times­by one person at each of the six levels of the organization code. Most requisitions, however, are reviewed on campus only once, within the originating department, before going to the central offices. Refer to the appropriate page for a definition of the organization code levels.

Note: the person in the department who will review the requisitions must first set the review routing flags. Please see the page on "Review Routing Flags" for instructions on setting these flags. If no review flags are set, requisitions will not stop for review before going to the central offices.
