Understanding PeopleSoft Services Procurement Workflow

Approval workflow management is the process of taking a transaction through the organization until it is accomplished or stopped. PeopleSoft Services Procurement uses the PeopleSoft Approval Framework for approving requisitions, work orders, timesheets, expenses, progress logs and invoices when you select to require approvals for the transaction using the Services Procurement Bus Unit page. The complete setup and use of the approval framework is described in the documentation PeopleSoft : Approval Framework.

When you are not using the approval framework, in Service Procurement, the system automatically sets a transaction to the Approved status when a user submits it.

PeopleSoft Services Procurement workflow provides mass approval, denial, hold capability and reason codes for denying workflow components. However, hold capability is not available for invoice approval.

The steps for approving PeopleSoft Services Procurement workflow transactions, such as expenses, requisitions, or work orders, are described in set of topics for each transaction.
