Invoice Approval Flow After Acceptance
Once the buyer Accepts the invoice, the following steps occur:
Retrofit Requisition Creation: An incomplete requisition is automatically created from the invoice. The user is routed to the requisition/checkout screen.
Requisition Completion: The user must enter all required information marked with a red asterisk, including accounting information (if applicable).
Submission: Once completed, the requisition is checked out and its state becomes Pending Approval (or "Pending state").
Delegated Approval: Delegated Approvers are notified and can access the requisition by going to the Tasks menu > select the Approval tab > click the desired requisition to Approve/Reject.
Order Creation: If the requisition is approved, a retrofit order will automatically be created, and the invoice will be matched as per the standard matching process.
Rejection Note: If the invoice is rejected by the buyer at the initial acceptance stage, the buyer will be notified by email, and the invoice state will change to Invoice Rejected.
