When a user submits a purchase order for approval, an Approve purchase order task is created for approvers.
To review a purchase order and make a decision on it:
- On the Home page, do either of the following:
- Under My tasks, double-click an Approve purchase order task.
- Under To-do list, expand Other to-dos, click My tasks, and double-click an Approve purchase order task.
- Next to the Subject, click a link to the purchase order, and review its details.
- Do either of the following:
- To approve the purchase order, click Approve.
- To reject the purchase order, in the Result summary field, enter a reason for rejection. Then, click Reject.
As you approve or reject a purchase order, you accept the task, become its assignee, and complete it. The task is automatically removed from the My tasks list of each approver. If notifications are turned on, the approval request author receives notification about your decision on the purchase order. To learn more, see Turning on notifications of approval process results.
