Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100)

Use this session to approve a selected range of purchase orders.

You can enter an amount in the Amount up to field, up to which the range of purchase orders can be approved. After approval, the purchase orders become actual purchase orders with the Approved status.

Note
  • You do not need to approve purchase orders that originate from a purchase schedule. LN automatically approves such purchase orders.
  • If you defined approval rules in the Approval Rules (tdpur0191m000) session and you select the Apply Approval Rules check box, LN only approves the purchase orders that meet a valid approval rule.
  • If the For Commingling check box is selected in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session, you must first carry out the commingling process before you can approve the concerned purchase orders.

If this check box is selected, the purchase orders are checked against the approval rules, as defined in the Approval Rules (tdpur0191m000) session. If a purchase order does not meet a valid rule, the purchase order is not approved.

If this check box is cleared, the purchase orders are approved without checking the approval rules.

Note

If the Approval Rules Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, the current check box is by default selected and disabled.

Amount up to
The amount up to which purchase orders can be approved.

If the amount of a purchase order exceeds this criterium, the purchase order is not approved.

Note

This field has no relation with the Amount To field in the Approval Rules (tdpur0191m000) session. As a result, although a purchase order can be approved based on the approval rules, LN can still block the order for approval because the purchase order amount exceeds the Amount up to field in the current session.
