Send a Modified PR for Re-Approval

A buyer can edit an item displayed on the Buyer page and increase the quantity of items to be ordered. This might be done, for example, to increase the quantity of an item that is routinely needed by additional users.

If the quantity increase would cause the new item total to exceed the NTE (Not to Exceed) amount of the PR and the original PR required approval, the buyer must reroute the PR for additional approval.

If an increase in item quantity causes the total to exceed the NTE, the item is flagged on the Buyer page. A red box replaces the check box so that the item cannot be added to a purchase order until it has been re-approved.

To re-route the item for additional approval:

1. Click the PR# link for the item that needs additional approval.

   A warning message indicates that the total amount exceeds the NTE value.

2. Click the Edit Purchase Requisition link to open the Purchase Requisition Details page in edit mode.

3. Modify the NTE amount so that it is above the Total Amount of the PR.

4. Click UPDATE.

   A dialog box opens indicating that the PR must be re-routed for approval.

5. Click YES.

   The Purchase Requisition - Approval Summary page opens. New approval records are added to repeat the previously completed approval.

6. Click the Send Approval Notifications button.

   The PR is rerouted for approval and will return to the Buyer page once approval is granted.
