How it works....

You can review, approve, and reject an order via the Order Awaiting for approval program. The authorized approver should approve the order that you have created. The order can also be rejected if you want to reject the purchase. When you approve the order, the system updates the order status based on the order activity set-up, or it can send the order to the next authorized approver based on the approval route. If the order was rejected, the system returns the rejected order, along with a rejection message to the originator, and purchase order processing will stop. The user will receive the message via the system work center. The originator can review the status of all of the orders , to see if they are approved, rejected, or pending. Rejected orders can be amended and resubmitted again for approval. You can check a pending order to see who is the next responsible approver for approving the order. The system sends a notification e-mail when a particular order requires approval. The system also notifies the originator that the order has been either approved or rejected, in the employee workstation.
