3.2.4 Submitting Issuance

After creating an issuance, the issuance goes into a “Pending Submit” status.

While issuances are in “Pending Submit” status, the record can be modified, discarded, or submitted.  Modifing a record allows you to change or add to the information previously entered.  Discarding a record will completely erase the record.  Submitting a record saves the record.  Issuances must be submitted in order for the data to be processed.

You can modify, discard or submit an issuance by clicking “Select” on the “Actions” tab and clicking on the action you would like to take.

If you need to submit or discard multiple records, click on the box to the left of each record you want to submit or discard, then click on the “Submit” or “Discard” button on top of the issuance. 

After submitting the issuance, the record will either be in “Approved” or “Pending Approval” status depending on your company’s approval setting.  The user which submitted the item can no longer edit the item once it is in “Approved” or “Pending Approval” status, the item can only be reset. 

Resetting a record brings the record back to a “Pending Submit” status.

3.2.5 Approving And Rejecting Issuance

To approve or reject an issuance record, click the “Select” button on the “Actions” column and click the action you would like to take.

From this menu users can view the issuance, which can help the users decide if they want to approve or reject the item.

To make a decision on a suspect item, check the box next to the suspect item record, then choose “Pay” or “Return”.

If you choose to pay, the record goes into the “Decision Pending Submit” status.  If you choose to return, you must select a “Decision Reason”. 

Once the reason is selected, the record goes into the “Decision Pending Submit” status.

While suspect items are in “Decision Pending Submit” status, the record can be submitted or reset. Submitting a record saves the decision.  Resetting a record allows you return the record to the previous status.
