This page describes the authorizations needed to approve a requisition under the various SAP Release Strategies (i.e., sets of rules for the release of funds):
Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | Model 4 | Bates Model | Sloan Model

Approval of requisitions

Model 1

 Requisitions for Model 1 funds do not require a separate approval step. To create and approve a requisition for Model 1 funds, you need a CAN SPEND OR COMMIT FUNDS authorization that applies to the fund or fund center, plus a REQUISITIONER authorization.

Model 2

 In Model 2, all requisitons must be approved by both a level 1 and level 2 approver.

To approve requisitions for Model 2 funds, you need authorizations for APPROVER MOD 2 LEV 1 and APPROVER MOD 2 LEV 2 regardless of dollar amount.

Model 3

 To approve requisitions for Model 3 funds, the required authorizations vary depending on the amount.
  • For amounts < $500, requisitions are automatically approved by the requisition creator. You need a CAN SPEND OR COMMIT FUNDS authorization that applies to the fund or fund center plus a REQUISITIONER authorization.
  • For amounts between $500 and $2500, you need an APPROVER MOD 3 LEV 1 authorization.
  • For amounts > $2500, you need an APPROVER MOD 3 LEV 2 authorization.

Model 4

 To approve requisitions for Model 4 funds, the required authorizations vary depending on the amount.
  • For amounts < $2500, you need an APPROVER MOD 4 LEV 1 authorization.
  • For amounts > $2500, you need an APPROVER MOD 4 LEV 2 authorization.

Bates Model

 To approve requisitions for Bates Model funds, you need authorizations for BATES APPROVER LEV 1 - 4.

Sloan Model

 To approve requisitions for Sloan Model funds, the required authorizations vary depending on the amount.
  • For non-equipment purchases for amounts < $10,000, you need a SLOAN LEV 1 APPROVER authorization.
  • For equipment purchases or amounts > $10,000, you need both SLOAN LEV 1 APPROVER and SLOAN LEV 2 APPROVER authorizations.
