Event awards and the approval process

After a buyer finalizes an award, an email notification is sent to the first person in the approval process. The first person in the approval process can represent an individual or a group and is usually assigned a Buyer Manager or Administrator role. To approve an event, users in the approval process must have specific security permissions.

In most cases, approvals are performed through the process server and Infor Process Automation. An event must go through three approval levels before it can proceed to the next status.

Your organization can create your own process server process files using Infor Process Automation. You can manually approve event awards if IPA is unavailable.
