 From this screen, the user can make the following actions:

'''Approve:'''  This button is used to mark the source document as approved.  As long as the transaction only requires 1 person's approval, the source document can now be printed, received, paid, etc. 

'''Decline:'''  This button is used to decline the approval of the transaction.  A declined approval is emailed to the adduser of the source document. The user can then edit the source document and save it to resubmit it for approval. 

'''Skip:'''  This button is used to skip or pass the transaction.  An approval which has been skipped will remain in the approvals list.

'''View:''' This button is used to view the source document of the approval (the actual PO, SO, AP Invoice, etc.)

'''Defer:''' This button allows the user to defer the approval to a specified date and time.  This date and time will appear in the 'DeferDate' column in the approvals grid.

'''Re-Assign:''' This button allows the user to re-assign the approval to one of the other users 
*NOTE You can only re-assign approvals to a user listed as one of your stand-.
