REQUISITIONS AND APPROVAL > Approval > Modify approvals on open requisitions
This utility is used to manually modify the remaining approval levels on open requisitions.
Normally approval levels are removed from requisitions automatically by the system as they are approved. However, this utility might be used during system testing/training (e.g. it may be faster to adjust approvals with this utility to set up test scenarios) or if an approver is absent or terminated and cannot perform their usual approval (although the Proxy Approver Utility is a better option in the case of absenteeism).
IMPORTANT: The utility can be used to get around the normal approval process and can present an audit issue. Ensure that only authorized users have access to this utility with User-Definable Menus.
Questions & Options
1.Select a menu option for the type of Requisition that you would like to modify.

TIP for end-users: If you only ever need to access your own documents, use the “Don’t ask me again” option to default this question.
TIP for System Administrators: If some users are only permitted to access certain documents (e.g. only for their own Department), this option can be set and locked so that the user is permanently restricted.
