Pending Approvals
Administrators & Compliance Officers
The Pending Approvals page is a centralised dashboard where you can see all documents waiting for your review. Access it from the Quick Links sidebar or the notification badge on your dashboard.
What Appears Here
Any document submitted for internal review by a Reporting Officer will appear in this list. Document types include:
| Document Type | Submitted By | What You Review |
|---|---|---|
| Tender Results | Reporting Officer | Awarded tender details, bidder information, winner selection, supporting documents |
| Tender Declarations | Reporting Officer | Quarterly tender register with all declared tenders |
| Employment Returns | Reporting Officer | Quarterly workforce data by category, gender, and nationality |
| SDP Reports | Reporting Officer | Quarterly supplier development progress, KPI actuals, activity costs |
| Split Awards | Reporting Officer | Tender split by item or quantity among local suppliers |
| Lot Splits | Reporting Officer | Delivery failure re-allocation with supplier justification |
| Exceptions | Reporting Officer | Non-local sourcing justification with capacity assessment |
How to Review
Open the Document
Click "Review" next to any item. You are taken to the document's detail page where you can examine all the data.
Approve or Request Revision
Two options at the bottom of the detail page:
- Approve → The document is finalised and submitted to the Ministry.
- Request Revision → The document returns to Draft with your notes. The reporter can edit and resubmit.
Maker-Checker Rule
You cannot approve your own submissions. The system enforces that the approver must be a different user than the person who created the document. This is why every company needs at least two active users.
Approval Count Badge
The number of pending approvals is displayed as a badge on the User Management page and in the Quick Links sidebar. Check it regularly to avoid delays.
