How can I bypass approvals when importing purchasing documents using file-based data import?

You can submit and bypass approvals when importing blanket purchase agreements, contract agreements and purchase orders using file-based data import. On the import templates, apply the Bypass Approval action in the Approval Action column.

You must have the Import Purchasing Document Bypassing Approval privilege. The privilege is not included with any predefined roles. Your administrator can grant the privilege as needed, to individual users such as buyers or other procurement agents.

For more information about the import templates, see the Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement: File-Based Data Import (FBDI) for Procurement guide on the Oracle Help Center.
