Learn how to approve a Requisition Awaiting Your Approval.
In PurchasePlus, when a Requisition is submitted for approval, it will be progressed to the 'AWAITING APPROVAL' status. The Requisition is placed into the Approval Workflow that applies to the Department and Account Code.
The approving users in the first rank of the workflow will receive an email, informing them that the Requisition has been submitted, and can now be approved or declined.
