5. After clicking the APPROVE or DENY links, you will have the opportunity to enter comments. NOTE:
You should always include a comment back to the Requester when you DENY a Requisition (i.e., to
inform the Requester of the reason for the denial). The comment box displays. Enter comments, as
needed and click “Approve/Deny”.
6. Your approval/denial is complete at this point. If approval action is not taken within 14 days of a
request being submitted the request will escalate to the Approver’s Supervisor. Supervisor is
determined by the Approver’s Personal Profile.
