# Approving and rejecting

Once a purchase order is created, it needs confirmation[^1] from right people. This is the whole point, making sure someone signs off before money is committed.

If You're an approver, You'll see pending purchase orders in Your dashboard. The process works the same way as invoice approvals, so if You're already confirming invoices in Fitek, this will feel familiar.

### **Approving a purchase order**

Open the purchase order and review the details, supplier, amounts, order lines, cost objectives. If everything looks right, approve it and if needed, leave a comment as well. That's it. The PO moves to the next step in the flow, or if You're the last approver, it gets fully confirmed.

### **Rejecting a purchase order**

If something isn't right, wrong amount, wrong supplier, missing information, You can reject the PO. When You reject, You'll need to leave a comment explaining why. This keeps things transparent and helps the person who created it understand what needs to change.

### **Adding other approvers**

You can also add other people to the approval chain, either before or after Yourself. This is useful when You need a second opinion, or when the PO needs sign-off from someone who wasn't included in the original flow. Click on three dots and choose Your action.

### **Substitute approvers**

If someone is out of the office and a substitute is handling their approvals, Fitek tracks this clearly. When a PO is approved or rejected by a substitute, the system shows the name of the person who actually took the action, not just the original approver. So the audit trail always reflects who really made the decision.

### **Approving on mobile**

You can also approve and reject purchase orders from the Fitek mobile app. You'll see pending POs alongside pending invoices.
