Description:
How internal approval works when your organisation requires it.
There are two ways an NPR can be approved:
Option 1 – Pre-Approval
The required approval is obtained before the NPR is submitted. The requester uploads the approval evidence (such as an approval email or signed document) as part of the submission. Bloom will review the attached evidence during the initial project review.
Option 2 – System Approval (Post-Submission)
Where project approval is required after NPR submission and prior to Bloom reviewing, the NPR is automatically routed to the user nominated as the Project Approver. The approver receives a notification and can approve or reject the request within the system.
Prerequisites:
- Your organisation requires internal approval before submission to Bloom.
Steps:
- Submit pre-approval evidence during submission
OR
- Select your project approver from the list of users in your organisation
- This will trigger a task to the selected project approver to review your answers and then reject or approve your request.
The pre-approval evidence upload, selecting your project approver,
Tips and best practice:
- Where business approval is required, Elevate automatically triggers an approval task for the assigned Project Approver, with a 24-hour SLA.
- The approver reviews the submission and accepts or rejects it, with the ability to leave notes and feedback.
- If the nominated approver is unavailable (for example, they are on leave or do not have access to the system), the requester can:
- Withdraw the NPR.
- Resubmit it with a different Project Approver; or
- Obtain approval outside the system and attach the approval evidence when resubmitting, using the Pre-Approval process.
What happens next:
- If approved, the project moves from Buyer Approval to Submitted, and the Q&C team's first task is triggered.
- If rejected, a new "Submit New Project Request" task is generated for you, with the rejection notes and feedback visible (see B-07).
