The Edit and Pause Requisition functions allows Approvers and Buyers to edit line items in a Requisition that is Pending Approval or Pause the Requisition to review it in-depth. To have this function enabled for your Community you will need to reach out to your Account Manager to discuss further.
The Edit Requisition function allows Approvers or Buyers to amend information in the Requisition instead of the Approver declining the Requisition.
The Pause Requisition function allows Approvers to pause the Approval process and review the Requisition and/or communicate with the Buyer.
Configure Edit Requisition
If the Edit Requisition function has been enabled by your Account Manager you can enable/disable who can use the Edit function.
Administrators can find these settings by going to the Administration Module and selecting Approvals from the left side menu. Under the Requisition Editing Settings you'll find the following options:
- Allow Requisition details to be edited during Approval - this enables Approvers to edit Requisitions that are delegated to them for Approval.
- Allow Buyers to Edit Pending Requisitions - this allows Buyers to edit Requisitions during the approval process.
Configuring Pause Approvals
Approval and Community Administrators can disable or enable the Pause Requisition function as well as update the time period for which a Requisition can be paused.
Administrators can find these settings by going to the Administration Module and selecting Approvals from the left side menu. Check Allow approvers to pause escalation to enable the Pause Requisition function. The Pause Time sets how long the Requisition will stay paused before the approval process is automatically resumed.
| Note: The pause time excludes weekends and public holidays. |
