Manual Approval Rules

On the Manual Approval Rules page, you can create, edit, copy, and delete manual approval rules for incoming release orders.

Requirements of release orders are usually processed automatically. If the requirements of incoming release orders must be checked before they are processed, you can define a manual approval rule. This rule filters out the requirements that must be approved manually on the Manage Unprocessed Plans page. You can use the manual approval, for example, to check requirements of a new customer or differences in the quantity of old and new plan.

A manual approval rule must be defined with a valid period and a message type. Additionally, you can select a message subtype, a customer, a ship to, and an internal item for an approval rule. You can even filter out the requirements of a single item from a release order that must be checked and approved manually.

To search for a manual approval rule, specify filter criteria in the field entries of the required columns.
