Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100)

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

You can specify 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 purchase orders.

 

Recalculate Prices and Discounts

If this check box is selected, prices and discounts are recalculated during purchase order approval.

Redetermine Material Price Information

If this check box is selected, the material price information is redetermined for the purchase order lines during approval.

If the Redetermine Material Information field is set to Automatic in the Material Price Parameters (tcmpr0100m000) session, this check box is by default selected.

Recalculate Landed Costs

If this check box is selected, landed costs are recalculated during purchase order approval.

Note

The Manual and Modified landed costs are not recalculated.

Apply Approval Rules

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 up 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.

The following currency types are available in LN:

  • Home currency, which is used internally by companies to calculate costs, record budgets, and register tax amounts
