Approving or Rejecting Records Using SuiteApprovals

Note:

If Email Approval is enabled in your account, refer to the guidelines and instructions in Email Approvals.

You can use the email notifications generated by SuiteApprovals to view, approve, or reject records for your approval.

The following procedure applies to all approver types other than Final Approver.

Important:

Approval actions by approvers using roles with Core Administration Permissions are not currently supported.

To approve or reject a record:

  1. Open the email message.

  2. Click View Record in the email body.

  3. On the record for approval, click the corresponding button for the action you want to take.

    • Approve – The record is routed to the next approver, if any, or the record is approved. For more information, see Approved.

      Your action is logged on the record’s Approval History subtab.

      When a record is approved, the following happens:

      • The approval status on the record is set to Approved.

      • Approved sales order records are set to Pending Fulfillment.

      • The Accounting Approval box is automatically checked in approved expense reports.

    • Reject– You must enter a reason in the Reject Reason field. Your action is logged on the record’s Approval History subtab.

      Description of the rejection reason must not exceed 4,000 characters.

  4. Click Submit.

If an employee is a delegate of one or more approvers for the same record, the delegate approver only needs to approve or reject one time. When a delegate approves the record, both the delegate and original approver or approvers are removed from the next approver’s list.
