Approving subcontractor purchase orders directly

Subcontractor purchase orders are only available after you complete setup in the Grant Management application. For information, see the Grant Management User Guide.

The two ways to approve a subcontractor purchase order are to:

• complete the Infor Process Automation approval process (see the LPA Services for Infor Lawson Reference Guide).

• directly approve using Purchase Order Direct Approval (PO24.1).

The principal investigator can unrelease, approve, or reject the subcontractor purchase order (the current status displays on PO24.1). After a subcontractor purchase order is approved, making changes to things like quantities, activities, or cost cause the subcontractor purchase order to be unreleased. When you release it a second time, you start the approval process again.
