Understanding why something was sent to me for approval.

Understanding why something was sent to me for approval.

If you have received anything (requisition, contract or invoice) for approval and you feel you shouldn't have, there are two areas to check before taking any actions. 

1) Look at where it is being billed to. That can be found in two places as you scroll down through the email or from within the Req or Invoice itself. 
The first is the section that says billing and second is the section that details the lines. If the profit center is 'yours', then there is a reason you are getting it. You can approve it or reject it.  If it isn't 'yours', then please send an email to strategicsourcing@nfiindustries.com and alert us to the issue. Examples:
              

2) At the bottom of any approval screen (not the email, but from within Coupa), you can hover over any individual in the approval chain and it'll tell you why you or that person was added. In the Coupa app, this information is shown automatically under the name in the approvals section.
