Infor Process Automation Requisition Line Approval process

The Requisition Line Approval service is a predefined service for the Requisitions application. The service processes requisition line approvals for lines that do not contain a Grant Management activity.

The service is triggered when the Requisition Create Line Approval service determines that a released requisition line does not contain a Grant Management application activity. A work unit is created, allowing Infor Process Automation to move work from one approver to another.

If you are using line level approvals, the service is available if you have all of these services enabled:

  • Requisition Create Line Approval

  • Requisition Line Approval

  • Requisition Line Approval for Grant Management

Note: To learn more about Infor Process Automation, see the IPA Services for Infor Reference Guide.

The application routes the work unit to a series of up to six predefined approvers. They decide whether to unrelease, reject, or approve the work unit. The service sends the work unit to the inbasket of the first approver. If the first approver unreleases or rejects the work unit, the requisition line status is updated accordingly.

If the first approver approves the work unit, the requisition's line approval status is updated and the unit is sent to the inbasket of the next approver. If the second approver unreleases or rejects the work unit, the requisition's line status is updated.

If the second approver approves the work unit, the requisition's line approval status is updated and the work unit is sent to the inbasket of the final approver. The final approver approves the work unit, and the requisition's line status is updated.
