| Purchase order approvalAfter purchase orders are created, purchase order approval is a
mandatory step in the purchase order procedure. You can approve purchase orders: - Based on approval rules for a range of purchase orders
in the Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100) session.
- Manually, for a range of purchase orders in the Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100) session.
- Manually , for a specific purchase order. To approve a specific
purchase order, click Approve on the appropriate menu of the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session, or the Purchase Order (tdpur4100m900) session. If the Approval Rules Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, this command is
disabled.
Approval rules You can validate purchase orders against approval rules before their status can become Approved. These rules enable you to specify conditions
based on which purchase orders are approved. Note - You cannot approve purchase orders that are waiting for commingling before they are actually
commingled.
- If the Use Confirmation check box is selected in the Order Terms and Conditions (tctrm1130m000) session, or the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session, you cannot approve purchase orders
before the Confirmed Quantity and Order Confirmation Date fields are filled on the
purchase order line(s).
- When a purchase order is approved, flexible purchase order
processing can start.
