Requisition approval

The Request Approval action triggers the ApproveDraftRequisition.lpd flow, which routes the requisition to the approvers specified on it, and then to the recruiter. Approvers receive a notification that lets them access the approval form in their inbasket. After the approval is requested for a requisition with no existing approvers, it is approved automatically.

Recruiters and recruiter administrators can approve their own draft requisitions manually. Requisitions that are created by hiring managers are approved by an approver.

You can modify your organization's security to accomplish these tasks:
  • Enable hiring managers in approving their own draft requisitions
  • Require recruiters and recruiter administrators to request approval for their draft requisitions
See Infor HR Talent User and Administration Library (Cloud and On-premises) and select Administrator > HR Talent Configuration.

After recruiters and recruiter administrators request approval for draft requisitions, the requisition status is changed to Approval Requested and the Approval Tracking pane is displayed.

The requisition is routed to the hiring manager, then to any approvers on the list, in the order that they are listed.

When the last approver approves, the requisition's status is changed to Pending. Recruiters can add a description, questions, and postings to the pending requisition.

If Position Monitoring is used in your organization and the requisition exceeds the budget for the requested position, then an error message is displayed when approval is requested. After the associated costs with the requisition are reduced, you can complete the Request Approval action.
