Approve Material Costs (tpppc4581m000)

	Approve Material Costs (tpppc4581m000) Use this session to confirm material cost transactions before posting by the Process Transactions (tpppc4802m000) session. These commitments are derived from the Material Costs (tpppc2111m000) session. If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. Infor LN allows multiple users to approve cost entries using the ION based workflow-process status. For more information, refer to Workflow status process. Workflow Status The status that is applicable for the business object requires authorization using ION Workflow. When you perform a change that requires authorization, a checked-out version is created for the business object. These changes are effective only after the approval/check-in. You can also undo these changes, or recall the changes submitted. Checked-out and checked-in objects are displayed in the Checked-out Objects (ttocm9599m000) session. From the appropriate menu of this session, select Workflow and then select the required action for the business object. Allowed values If the business object is checked out, this field is set to Object status. If the business object is checked in, this field is set to Approval status. Regardless of the object being checked in or checked out, if a description is specified for the Object Type in the Workflow Information Fields (ttocm0106m000) session (which is displayed as a tab in the Object Types (ttocm0102m000) session), this field always displays the value of the appropriate Description field. Note For more information on setting up and using ION Workflow for business objects in LN, refer to the Infor LN Content Guide for Infor ION guide at Infor Xtreme.
