How To:  Approve or Reject a Purchase Requisition

Before You Start

Individuals with PTA approval authority receive an email notification that an approval on a requisition is pending.

Approvers review the requisition to ensure:

• the expenditure is reasonable, necessary and complies with all University policies;
• the charges are correct, allowable for the account, allocable, and properly coded;
• charges are appropriately documented and are recorded in a consistent manner; and
• funds are available in the account being charged

What's Next?

• If the requisition is approved, the next step is dependent on the order type:
  • SmartMart Requisition – The order is immediately placed with the supplier.
  • Standard Requisition
    • If under $25,000 and the purchase does not require a contract, Oracle assigns a purchase order number and automatically transmits the order to the supplier. The originator receives an FYI notification that the order has been placed.
    • If $25,000 or more, OR if a contract is required (regardless of the dollar amount), the approved requisition is routed to Procurement for processing.
• If the requisition is rejected, it is routed back to the originator for correction. The originator can:
  • change PTA information
  • change approvers
  • change delivery location
  • add lines
  • include a single/sole source justification as an attachment
  • include other attachments

  If the Contract Yes/No selection needs to be changed, the originator must submit a new requisition.
