 +**Notes**:  
 +  * Any changes made to the approval path are immediate and automatically update (move) existing requisitions. If there are existing requisitions and you are adding new user, first create the new user’s approval rules so that any pending items are properly moved when the user is added to the workflow. 
 +  * The Purchasing **Cutoff Date** field on the [[https://help.ascendertx.com/districtadmin/doku.php/options/purchasingoptions/currentyear|District Administration > Options > Purchasing Options]] page can be used to temporarily restrict users from adding requisitions while the approval path is edited. Be sure to clear the date from the field after the approval path changes are completed.
