The Requisition process works by moving the request through the approval process until the process has been completed.  In order to move the requisition between approval/review steps, there needs to be a decision question located in each requisition form to move the requisition to the next step and send a task notification email to the next assigned user.

This question is commonly a multiple-choice question along the lines of ‘Do you approve this Requisition?’

Here is how you build the decision question:

    • An Approved with Changes response will progress the request, but will require the approver to enter comments around the changes made/required.
