PeopleSoft provides mobile approvals using the Enterprise Component Fluid Approvals framework. Approvers can take Application Workflow Engine (AWE) actions on select PeopleSoft transactions pending their approval, using a smart phone or tablet. The tablet version is also available for desktop use.
Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface, approvers can view a list of pending approvals for registrations submitted by suppliers, and add comments on the centralized Pending Approvals page. An approver or multiple approvers review the registrations details, along with other details such as contact information, bank and payment information. Each approver in the workflow selects an appropriate action, such as Approve, Deny, Pushback (only available for multiple approvers), or Request Information within the approval pages.
Supplier registration approvals also support push notifications, a framework delivered in PeopleTools. The flag icon in the Oracle banner shows a counter for new push notifications. Note that the counter disappears once you view the push notification list. The notification link takes you directly to the header approval page for items awaiting your approval.
Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of notifications in one central location. Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications. Notifications delivered with FSCM Image 49 or later must use Notification Composer.
For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.

Note: If the Supplier Name and Address are added to the financial sanctions list, a message appears on clicking the supplier registration to alert the approver to review and validate the supplier as eligible for payment before approving. This message is only to alert the approver. It will not stop the approver to approve the supplier.
If any supplier is added to the financial sanctions list, the OFAC Checking status will be Failed OFAC checking; otherwise, the status will be OFAC checked.
