To view the properties of the Verify Requisition subprocess, select its process activity in the navigator tree, then choose Properties from the Edit menu. The Verify Requisition subprocess has a result type of PO Document Verification, indicating that when the subprocess completes, it has a result of Failed Verification or Passed Verification. These results correspond to the lookup codes in the PO Document Verification lookup type, in the PO Standard item type.

This process activity is not runnable, indicating that it cannot be initiated as a top-level process to run, but rather can only be run when called by another higher level process as a subprocess.

This subprocess activity makes sure the requisition is complete and the information is valid.

The subprocess begins at node 1.

Node 2 checks that the document status is compatible with an approval action (for example, its status is not closed, frozen, or on hold). Node 4 verifies that the document is complete, such as ensuring that it contains at least one line and one distribution.

If the document state does not allow an approval action at node 2 or the document is incomplete at node 4, a notification of such at node 8 or 9 respectively is sent to the requester. Then, at node 10, the requisition status is set back to what it was before it entered this subprocess, and the workflow ends at node 11. If you modify and resubmit the requisition or create a new one, the PO Requisition Approval workflow starts over again when you submit the requisition for approval.

If the document passes validation at nodes 2 and 4, node 6 records in the Action History window that the document has been submitted for approval.

If the Document Approval Manager fails at node 2 or 4, the notification activity at node 3 or 5 sends a notification of the failure to the requester. Once the Document Approval Manager is restarted successfully, the workflow continues if the requester or system administrator responds to the notification with Retry.
