Orders Awaiting Approval

You can locate all orders that await approval and select individual orders to review for approval or rejection. You can also locate all orders that you originated to review the status of each, such as approved, rejected, or pending.

You locate orders based on the address book number. You can also locate orders based on the age of the order to identify orders that require immediate attention. If you originate orders, you can specify that only approved or rejected orders appear.

You can access an order's status summary to identify who is responsible for approving the order and to review a history of the actions that have occurred to that order. You can identify those persons who have:

• Approved the order.

• Not yet approved the order.

• Rejected the order.

• Been bypassed in the approval process by a person with a higher level of authority.

To review a status summary for an order on budget hold, you must specify the budget hold code in the processing options for the Purchase Order Approvals program (P43081).
