RE: Workflow Forwarding

Please note that when forwarding requisitions and vouchers in the workflow system there are two options for the routing.  When pulling up the dropdown box of available users, after you select the forward icon, you will notice that below the list is a checkbox marked “Reassignment Only”.  By checking this “Reassignment Only” box before choosing who you will be forwarding to, the document will continue thru its approval process after the person you forwarded it to approves it.  If you do not check off this box, when the person you forwarded it to approves it, the document will come back to your Tasklist.  NOTE: Even if the requisition/voucher is forwarded to a higher level of approval, after it is approved, it will take the regular route of approval.

Example: Sharon wants to forward a voucher to Edward to get a higher level approval because she is processing a travel and expense report for her supervisor Joe.  If Sharon checks off the “Reassignment Only” box, the voucher will continue on its normal approval route to the supervisor Joe after Edward approves.  If Sharon does not check off the box, when Edward approves the voucher, it will be returned to Sharon for approval.  Once she approves the requisition it will be sent to Joe for the regular approval process.

Also, there are no generated emails in the forwarding process.  You will not receive an email notification if a document has been forwarded to your attention.
