Requisitions
  • Approval Precepts for Requisitions
2
Requisitioning Approval Premises
  • A requisition must be approved before it can be sourced into a purchase order
  • The approval process ensures that a requisition is routed through all designated levels of approval
    • A requisition can go through nine levels of amount approval
    • A requisition can also go through up to two levels for commodity approval
    • The approval of requisitions is supported by the automated WorkFlow process
    • The WorkFlow process finds and routes requisitions to the appropriate levels, or persons, for approval
3
Requisition Approval Hierarchy
  • The approval hierarchy defines the routing of requisitions in the WorkFlow process.
  • Dollar amount approval is based on the employee/ manager relationship defined in the hierarchy.
  • Commodity approval routing within the hierarchy is based on the category of the goods or services requested.

Rollback and Escalation
  • When a requisition is denied at any level, it is routed back to the originator.
  • When a requisition remains on an approver’s work list for 5 consecutive days with no actions, it is automatically escalated to the next approver in the hierarchy

Default Buyer
  • Every purchasing Business Unit has a default buyer
  • If a specific buyer is not listed on the requisition, the PO created from the requisition will be routed to the default buyer
