[Oraclefinancials-depttransactors] Update on Adding Approvers in Oracle Procurement Requisitions (RSSP)

[Asirra Suguitan]

Dear PTP Users,

We want to make you aware of a change in Oracle Procurement Requisitions
(RSSP) related to adding approvers.

   -

   The “Add Approvers” button in RSSP will soon be disabled for all users.
   This means no one will be able to add ad hoc approvers when creating a
   requisition.
   -

   This change is necessary because RSSP does not provide the same
   flexibility as the classic version, which allowed approvers to be added at
   different stages in the workflow. Disabling this option ensures
   requisitions follow the correct routing and prevents issues where certain
   roles (e.g., Transactors) are bypassed.
   -

   What does not change: Transactors will still be able to add approvers
   using the approval notification when a requisition routes to them. When
   approvers are added through the notification, the workflow behaves in a
   similar way to how it functioned in the classic version. A new guide is
   available on how to add approvers from the notification here
   <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KkrX11CG1D2Mz27InR7pgEj_AcxrJ3db/view?usp=sharing>
   .

This update aligns with what was communicated to CFAOs during testing and
ensures requisitions route properly through the required approval process.
BFS will revisit this change in 3–6 months to confirm it is meeting campus
needs, and also to see if Oracle has provided any new functionality as
options.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to improve and standardize
the RSSP requisition approval process.

Sincerely,
