5.3 Approve Requisitions and Orders

If you are happy that the document is correct and do not wish to make any changes, simply click the ‘Approve’ button.

The document will continue through the approval process and will move onto the next approval step if there is one.

For Requisitions, if there are no more approval steps in the plan, approving a requisition will result in an order being created and either transmitted to the supplier or sent for further approval under an order request approval plan.

For Purchase Orders, if there are no more approval steps in the approval plan, approval will result in the order being transmitted to the supplier.

Unknown Suppliers

Non-Catalogue items that have not been assigned a supplier will be display as Supplier = Unknown. It is not possible to approve a document that contains an 'Unknown' supplier and therefore editing must be performed.

PECOS P2P will display the following warning message: “You cannot approve a requisition containing items for an unknown supplier”. Refer to 'Edit a Document' to discover how to edit items for Unknown Suppliers.
