Purchase order approval

After 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 purchase order, click Approve on the appropriate menu of the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) or the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session. If the Approval Rules Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, this option is disabled.
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 specified on the purchase order line(s).
  • When a purchase order is approved, flexible purchase order processing can start.
