Once you have submitted a requisition, you can track its progress and see exactly who is responsible for the next step in the approval chain. Understanding the approval path helps you anticipate when your request will be finalized.

Checking Your Requisition Status

To view the status and approval path of a specific request, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Transactions: Click on the Transactions tab in the left-hand toolbar.

2. Select Requisitions: Click on Requisitions from the menu.

3. Find and Open: Locate the specific requisition you wish to track and click on it to open the details page.

Understanding the Approval Path

In the top right-hand corner of the requisition page, you will see the full approval path, including the names of the required approvers and their current status.

Initial Status Indicators

• Pending Approval: If your requisition shows this status immediately after submission, it means approvals are required before it can proceed.
• Open: If the status goes straight to "Open," the requisition did not trigger any approval rules and is ready for the next stage of the procurement process.

User-Specific Approval Statuses

Beside each name in the approval path, you will see one of the following indicators:

• Pending: This person is the current active approver. They must approve or reject the transaction before it can move forward.
• Waiting: This person is an approver later in the chain. They are waiting for the prior person to take action. Once the current "Pending" user approves, the status for the "Waiting" user will shift to "Pending."
• Approved: This person has already reviewed and approved the transaction (the requisition creator will be notified every time an approver approves it).
• Rejected: This person has rejected the transaction, stopping the approval process (the requisition creator will be notified anytime an approver rejects it).
