Using the Pending Approvals Screen
From this screen, the user can make the following actions:
Approve: This button is used to mark the source document as approved. As long as the transaction only requires 1 person's approval, the source document can now be printed, received, paid, etc.
Decline: This button is used to decline the approval of the transaction. A declined approval is emailed to the adduser of the source document. The user can then edit the source document and save it to resubmit it for approval.
Skip: This button is used to skip or pass the transaction. An approval which has been skipped will remain in the approvals list.
View: This button is used to view the source document of the approval (the actual PO, SO, AP Invoice, etc.)
Defer: This button allows the user to defer the approval to a specified date and time. This date and time will appear in the 'DeferDate' column in the approvals grid.
Re-Assign: This button allows the user to re-assign the approval to one of the other users
