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.

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,
