My Submissions
The My Submissions tab tracks every approval request you have originated — that is, every document you have personally submitted for sign-off — across all document types.
What You See
Each submission row shows:
- Document type — the kind of document (e.g.,
PURCHASE_ORDER,SALES_ORDER,INVENTORY_ADJUSTMENT). - Submitted date — when you sent it for approval.
- Current level — the step the request is currently sitting at, when it is still pending.
- Status — a tag showing where the request is in its lifecycle:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PENDING | The request is in flight. Someone else is the current decision-maker. |
| APPROVED | All required approvers signed off. The underlying document has moved forward. |
| REJECTED | An approver rejected the request. The document is back with you for revision. |
| CANCELLED | You (or an administrator) cancelled the request before it was decided. |
| ESCALATED | A step blew past its deadline and the system automatically forwarded it to the fallback approver. The request is still pending. |
Why a Request Might Sit in PENDING
A pending request is waiting on someone else’s decision. To see who, open the underlying document — the approval history shows the chain of steps, who decided what at each level, and who is currently assigned. The Approvals area only shows your view; it does not let you act on someone else’s decision.
If a request has been pending for a long time, check whether the assigned approver is on leave. An administrator can configure a delegation grant so their decisions automatically forward to a deputy.
After a Rejection
When a request is rejected, your document goes back to Draft. You can then:
- Open the document.
- Read the rejection reason in its approval history.
- Edit the document — fix the problem the approver flagged.
- Submit it for approval again. This starts a fresh request with its own chain of decisions; the old request stays on record as REJECTED for the audit trail.
Cancelling a Request
If you submitted a document by mistake or no longer want to pursue it, you can cancel the request from the underlying document while it is still PENDING. Cancelled requests cannot be revived — submit a fresh one instead.
