Overview of Approval for Movement Requests

You can use an approval-based workflow to route your Requisition type movement requests to the appropriate approval authorities prior to executing the movement request.

A workflow task generally passes from one user (or group of users) to another, usually for approvals. The users get notifications, for example, when the task is assigned to them for approval. After all approvers act on the task, say by approving it, the task is complete and whatever was approved takes effect.

You can configure approvals for the notifications to meet your own company’s requirements. Set up approval rules on the Manage Movement Request Approval Rules page. You submit movement requests for approval from the Create Movement Request page. Then, you can take actions based on the notifications you receive. If the approval transactions fail, you can recover transactions using the Transaction Console. You can also search for approved, rejected, and pending approval lines on the Manage Movement Request page.
