  1. Specify a number group for approval rules in the Number Group for Approval Rules field of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.
  2. Set the Basis for Approval Rules field to Acceptance or Exceptions in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.
  3. Specify whether it is mandatory to check the approval rules before purchase orders can be approved in the Approval Rules Mandatory field of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.
  4. Specify the approval rules in the Approval Rules (tdpur0191m000) session.
  5. If you want to validate purchase orders against approval rules before their status can become Approved, select the Apply Approval Rules check box in the Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100) session.
