Viewing Previously Approved Documents

Approvers can use the Document Search feature to retrieve any invoices (or other documents) they have already approved. Access is limited to read-only. This means you can view the details, but you cannot make direct changes.


Requesting Edits on a Previously Approved Invoice

If you need to make corrections or edits to an invoice you already approved, you cannot modify it directly. Instead, follow these steps:

  1. Notify the current-level approver

    • Use the Document Search to find the document.

    • Open the document and click the Email button to send a request to the current approver.

  2. Current approver re-routes the document

    • The current-level approver opens the document.

    • They click the Re-Route button to return the document to the prior approver.

  3. Edit and resubmit

    • Once re-routed, you will regain edit access to the document via the approve document list.

    • Make your changes, then re-approve the document.

    • The document will continue through the workflow as normal.



Summary

  • Approvers can search and view documents they have approved.

  • Access is read-only.

  • To make changes, the document must be re-routed by the current approver.
