Reject a Record in Approval Center

You can reject records in the Approval Center if you have appropriate access rights.

To reject a record that an employee has submitted:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select My Stuff > Approval Center.
  2. On the Approval Center form, select the record type, such as Absence Requests, from the Approval Center drop-down menu. All requests are displayed in the grid.
  3. To filter approvals by project for expense lines or timesheet lines, click next to Showing All Projects to open the Project Filter dialog box and use it to specify the projects to display in the grid.
  4. If you have the appropriate access rights, you can select the Show All Pending and Complete check box to display all rows across companies and employees that are in Approval, In Progress, and Completed states.
  5. Review and reject records by performing any of the following actions:
    To reject Description
    A single record Click Action Required in the Approval Action column and select Reject from the drop-down list.
    Multiple records Select the check boxes of the approval records that you want to reject and select Reject Selected from the Actions drop-down menu.
    All records Select Reject All from the Actions drop-down menu.

    Warning: This action rejects all the records that you are assigned to approve, not just the records currently shown in the grid.

    If the reject action cannot be applied to one or more of the records, an explanatory message displays.
  6. Enter a comment on the Reject dialog box and click Reject. If you rejected multiple requests, the comment is saved to all the records that you rejected.
