Shoppers do not have the authority to submit purchase requisitions without intervention from a requester/approver.
Requester
Requesters are Similar to shoppers except they have the ability to submit purchase requisitions up to $5,000* without a Fiscal Officer’s approval. Requesters may submit requisitions greater than $5,000 but these requisitions will require Fiscal Officer approval.
Approver
Approvers have the responsibility to approve orders on their accounts which are greater than $5,000*. They are also required to approve invoices that are greater than $250 or if the invoice does not match the purchase order. Approvers will be assigned the title of Fiscal Officer (FO) for their department, or they will be a Delegate Approver for the FO.
