The Main Menu contains four major sections as follows:

Edit a row.
Delete a row.
Each major process in the Business e-Services Main Menu links to a homepage listing summary information about each transaction as well as the status of that transaction. For example, the “Request for a Purchase Order” homepage includes the requisition number, date, vendor, total amount, and status.
Status may be one of the following:
Incomplete. The request is saved either by you or by the system so that you can provide more information later.
Canceled. The requestor has decided not to complete the request.
Note: Canceled requests are not deleted.
Pending Approval. The request has been forwarded to your division approval authority and is waiting for his or her response.
Approved. The request has been approved by your division approval authority and is waiting to be posted by the Purchasing Office or the Accounting Office.
Denied. The request has been denied by your division approval authority.
Posted. The request is being processed by staff in either the Purchasing Office or the Accounting Office.
Please note the helper text in the left-hand gray column as well as the text labels for each item.
Please note that certain pieces of information, such as the account number, are now selected using pop-up windows on both the header and lines forms. Vendor information should be selected from the pop-up list. If a vendor is not available, the related information can be entered.
Please note that a new tracking procedure has been added to purchasing requests, called the Purchasing Category. Please select the category that most closely represents the item you are requesting.
When you have completed your Request for a PO or a Reimbursement, you may submit the request for approval by selecting the appropriate approval authority (in this case, a Vice President), and then clicking the “Submit Request for Approval” button.
Note: Some requests are entered by persons across divisions, which necessitates the menu of VPs rather than an automated selection.
Attention: The request cannot be edited after it is sent for approval.
