View negotiation and award approval history
View approval history during negotiation and award approval using the Redwood experience. This provides greater transparency into approvers, approval actions, comments, and status changes. From the Approval History page, you can review both negotiation approval history and award approval history depending on the stage of the negotiation. Expand or collapse each section to review approval steps in chronological order, including the action performed, the person who performed it, the action date, and any notes provided to the approver.
On the Negotiations page, select View Negotiation and then select View Approval History.
Negotiation and award approval history
The approval history hierarchy displayed depends on the enabled approval configuration and the negotiation’s current status. The Approval History page can show negotiation approval history, award approval history, or both. For draft negotiations, access the Approval History page from the Manage Approvers page or from the actions menu on the View Draft Negotiation page.
Viewing a consolidated approval history improves transparency and helps category managers quickly understand approval progress, decisions, and related comments when managing negotiations and awards.
