Use this activity to enter a group of people with authorization to approve a purchase.
Authorization groups are used when, for example, it is sufficient that only one person in a department authorizes a purchase requisition line or purchase order. When the authorization group is used in an authorization routing template, only one of the group members has to authorize. You can connect several users to the authorization group and the same user can be a member of more than one authorization group. Project roles and positions are used similar to authorization groups i.e. the persons who are able to authorize should be assigned to the role or position.
The authorizers must have been entered for the company on the Purchase Authorization Basic Data/Authorizers tab.
An authorization group is created and can be used in an authorization routing template.
