Changes to iProcurement Approval Intervals
29th March 2010
Following feedback from the schools, from today we have changed the interval for requisition approval timeouts and reminders from 1 day to 2 days each. This means that the requisition approver will now receive the following notifications:
Reminder 1 notification - 2 days after the requisition is initially submitted to them
Reminder 2 (final reminder) notification - 4 days after the requisition is initially submitted to them
After 6 days from original submission then the approval notification will timeout. If there is a further approver in the sequence then the approval notification will be forwarded to them. If there is no subsequent approver, then a notification will be sent to the requisition inputter saying that no approver could be found.
Please note that during the time that a requisition is with an approver the inputter is able to redirect the requisition to another approver should that one be unavailable; for example if the selected approver is on leave.
