PictureDeciding in the portal. The reason is required while the policy Every decision needs a reason is on, and the requester sees it.
Saved: "You approved {reference}." or "You declined {reference}." When yours is the last approval the request needs, the page says so first: "Yours is the last approval this request needs."
What happens after the last approval
The request becomes Approved, and the requester is told if your company sends that email. If your company has switched on automatic sending to Webmercs, the last approval also sends a real order to Webmercs. The approval page does not tell you this; it happens on the shop's side.
When the page will not let you decide
"This request is not waiting on you." The step is someone else's, or another holder of the role decided first.
"You have decided this request. Nothing here is waiting on you now."
"This request is closed: it was approved." / "it was declined." / "the requester cancelled it."
"Your decision could not be saved." Press Reload and try again.
"We did not get an answer in time. Your decision may have been saved." The page reloads; check before you decide again.
