All requisitions over the division approval threshold ($0 or $1,000) require entry of a Requisition Approver listed in the Signature Authorization System. The approver is entered on the "Finish and Checkout" page. Additionally, Requisition Preparers and Approvers may insert other approvers and reviewers into these requisitions. Here is the difference between inserted Approvers and Reviewers:

• Inserted approvers will receive an email from FMS just like the regular Requisition Approver. The email summarizes the requisition and has a link to the requisition. The inserted approver must approve or deny the requisition for it to be processed further.

• Inserted reviewers also receive an email from FMS with a link to the Requisition. The email is sent to the reviewer only for informational purposes and the reviewer is not required to take any action on the requisition for it to be processed further.

To insert additional requisition Approvers and/or Reviewers:

1. On the "Finish and Checkout" page, click the "Save for later" button. The "Requisition Saved" page will display and show the regular Requisition Approver with green + symbols before and after the approver's name.

   • Click the + after the Requisition Approver to insert a new Approver or Reviewer after the original Requisition Approver. After the original Requisition Approver approves the requisition, an email will be sent to the inserted Approver or Reviewer for further action.

   • Click the + before the Requisition Approver to insert a new Approver or Reviewer before the original Requisition Approver. An email will be sent to the inserted Approver or Reviewer for action before being sent to the original Requisition Approver.
     
     
      

2. After you click +, a new "Insert additional approver or reviewer" window appears as shown above. Click the "Insert as:" button to select either an Approver or a Reviewer.

3. Next, enter a User ID by typing the first part of the user's email address in upper case. You can also enter their name by clicking the lookup icon (magnifying glass), going to the "Name" box, typing their last name, clicking the "Search" button, then clicking the link to their name.
   
   
    

4. Click the "Insert" button on the small window to insert your Approver or Reviewer. You will then see the inserted individual as shown below. Click the "Submit" button to submit your requisition to the first approver.
