Requisition Approvals

Published on Wednesday, April 8, 2020

Once a requisition for supplies is submitted by a requester, it will route to the cost center approver for the cost center indicated on the requisition. Requisitions will not issue to purchase order until approved by the cost center. 

The cost center approver role in Workday is a single assignment role; however, if you are assigned the Cost Center Level 1 or Level 2 Approver role, you will need to delegate approval tasks to another person for any times that you will not be available to approve requisitions. If you do not delegate your approval tasks for times when you are unavailable to approve requisitions, the requisition, including requests for supplies, will not issue to purchase order until you approve it. Please refer to the Delegation job aid found on the Learning Resource page. 

Also, a cost center approver cannot approve a requisition that he/she submitted as a requester. If the requester who submitted the requisition is also the Cost Center Level 1 approver, the requisition will automatically route to the Cost Center Level 2 Approver.
