Note: The possible status shown here:
Note: Transactions with Trxn Status equal to pending with no approvals can be withdrawn if needed. From the Transaction Review screen, select Withdraw button. Originators can then edit the transaction and re-submit for approval or void the transaction all together. If a transaction requires multiple approvers and it has not been fully approved, the originator must contact the next approver on the list to request that the transaction be returned. If the transaction has been fully approved, the originator will need to contact T&R to change or cancel a transaction.
What happens next?
- Transactions requiring backup documents will not be routed to an approver until documents have been faxed in and electronically attached. If the backup documents are not received and the originator has indicated that backup documents will be attached, the iOU system will send an email within 24 hours indicating that documents have not been received.
- If you need to re-submit the backup documents, the barcode sheet can be reprinted in the future to fax additional documents if necessary. To reprint the bar code page, click the Reprint Barcode button on the bottom section of the Transaction Review page.
