Requisition Approval Rerouting After Changes

Configuration options when activated can force requisitions to automatically be rerouted for approval when certain business scenarios occur.

System administrators can configure certain settings to force requisitions to automatically be rerouted for approval when certain business scenarios occur. System administrators define which scenarios they wish to activate. Each of the settings can be individually set to control if that situation when it occurs will cause the requisition to be re-routed for approval:

Setting Description
Restart Approval Process After "Cancel" Step Restart the approval process when reopening a requisition after it has been canceled.
Restart Approval Process After "Fill" Step Restart the approval process when reopening a requisition after it has been filled.
Restart Approval Process After "On Hold" Step Restart the approval process when reopening a requisition after it has been placed on hold.
Restart Approval Process After Editing the Number of Positions Restart the approval process when editing the number of positions for the requisition.
Restart Approval Process After Editing the Salary Fields Restart the approval process when editing the salary fields in the requisition file.

Immediately upon a Recruiting Center user has performed an action that makes true one of the above activated settings:

  • The requisition status will return back to Draft.

  • The requisition will be unposted.

  • The requisition tasks will be deleted.

Also, if the requisition was posted and the Recruiting Center user modifies the requisition file, the requisition will be re-routed to the Draft status and it will also be unposted.

If a Recruiting Center user re-opens a canceled requisition and if the Restart Approval Process After "Cancel" Step setting has been activated, rather than the requisition reverting back to it's original state, the requisition will revert back to the status of To be approved. The requisition must be reapproved before sourcing for the position can be restarted. The prior approval process will still be visible from the tracking history, but the approval tab will reflect the most current approval cycle. If the requisition had originally been canceled during the approval process, the prior approval cycle that was in process will be terminated and will be replaced by the new one which must be initiated from the beginning.
