If the negotiation creator selected the response control Require Award Approval, the award decision must be submitted to approvers before the award can be completed. The chain of approvers is defined using Oracle Approvals Management. Both the Employee Supervisor Hierarchy and the Position Hierarchy can be used. For details on defining approval rules see the Oracle Sourcing Implementation and Administration manual.
To submit an award for approval:
Access the negotiation (if you just saved the award decision, you begin with the following step).
From the Actions menu, select Award Summary.
On the Award Summary page, click Submit For Approval.
You can view the approval history. Once the award has been approved, you can continue the award process by completing the award and generating a purchase document..
