If you selected the "Require award approval" negotiation control, your award decision must be approved before you can complete the award and begin to create a purchasing document. Once you have submitted your negotiation's award decision, you can view the award approval status of your negotiation. You can view the award approval history at any point, but there will only be data displayed after the recommendation has been submitted.
To view the approval status of a negotiation:
Navigate to the summary page for the negotiation
Select View Award Approval History from the Actions menu.
The Award Approval History page shows who has approved your award recommendation and the approvals remaining in the approval chain.
