Add Approvers on Requisitions at Additional Positions During Shopping Checkout

You can now add and manage ad hoc approvers at additional positions in the default approval hierarchy during shopping checkout in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application. 

To use this feature, add an approver in the required position from the View Approvers page on the shopping cart.

Use Add Approvers Action During Shopping Checkout

These new positions are now available:

• Start of task
• Start of stage
• End of stage

Search and Add Approver at the Desired Position

Select the Start of task option to add ad hoc approvers before those created by approval rules. Choose Start of stage to add new approvers before the participant set, or End of stage to add them after the participant set. Each position option shows where the new approver will appear in the list.

An Approver Added to End of Stage

This feature is helpful when you want to add ad hoc approvers either before or after a group of parallel approvers.

Steps to enable and configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips and considerations

• You can mark ad hoc approvers as FYI either while adding them or while editing them by using the Replace action.
• You can use the Add Approvers action only in certain situations. It is not available when you select FYI approvers or when you choose approvers at the start of a task, start of a stage, or end of a stage.

Add a data security policy for this privilege with these parameters:
