What Is It?

You can add Comments to a CU Marketplace Requisition and have it sent as an email notification to colleagues. Shoppers can add notes when they assign a Cart to a Requester. The note is included in an email notification sent to the Requester, which contains a direct link to the Requisition.

Requesters can submit a Requisition for approval and add Comments that can be emailed to selected Approvers or other colleagues to notify them that the Requisition is awaiting approval. If the Requisition is not yet in approval workflow, the Comment cannot be sent as an email notification and can only be viewed in the Comments tab when colleagues open and view the Requisition.

Approvers can also add Comments for the Requester and/or Shopper to notify them an order was approved. If an Approver returns or rejects a Requisition, they will be prompted to add a Comment before they complete the action.

On the Shopping Cart page, click the Assign Cart button.

If your Requisition has already been submitted into workflow, you can select from a list of individuals who have worked with your requisition so they receive your comment as an Email notification.

In addition, you can click Add recipients to search for Approvers or other individuals. This is a good way to notify an Approver that they have a Requisition in Workflow to approve.

Click the Complete icon. Comments are indicated on the Comments tab and listed on the Comments screen.
