Submit Requisition for Approval

In the Approval section, enter Yes once per requisition header (not on every line) to submit the purchase requisition for approval. This triggers the approvals workflow.

As with Generate Sourcing, Tax and Accounting, use the default row (row 10) to populate only the header row automatically on validation/upload.

If your requisition has multiple lines, place Yes on the top line only, or you will get the error: "Section Approval record in row xx is orphaned. Possible causes include a missing parent record or blank row gap(s) above the current record."

Any API error raised during submission for approval is returned in the Approval Messages column against the header row.

Once all purchase requisition information is entered, initiate the upload process, see the Upload Section of the Common Documentation. Successful uploads return an Accepted status and requisition information from the web service; rejected uploads return messaging from the web service, see Correcting Errors and Reprocessing for how to fix and resubmit these.

You must run Generate Sourcing, Tax and Accounting before Approval or you will get an API error.
