Assign Special Request Approvers

Users are able to add special requests to a Shopping Cart, enabling them to order certain off-catalog items including:

• Items that a user can describe, but cannot find through browsing or a search.
• Newly advertised items for which the user knows the supplier's part number, but cannot find in the Procurement catalog.
• Items from an authorized supplier whom the user is not authorized to purchase from.

After a special request is submitted, the Shopping Cart must be routed to a Special Request Approver / Approval Group. This approver will be approving flagged line items with special requests.

To assign an approver / approval groups for special requests, see Special Request Approver in the Administer Organizations Help module.
