Authorize Purchase Order or Purchase Order Change Order

Explanation

A purchase order or a purchase order change order that has retrieved authorization steps (lines) from an authorization routing template is locked, i.e., cannot be handled, until it has been authorized by one or several authorizers. It can also be authorized by an authorizer who is a member of an authorization group, an authorizer who is assigned to a project role, a position or is a buyer. When an authorizer is assigned to a position, org code could be used to limit authorization to authorizers assigned to that specific position within selected org code.

The purchase order authorization can be performed both in the Purchase Order/Authorization tabĀ  and in the Purchase Order Authorization page. The purchase order change order can be authorized in the Purchase Order Change Order/Authorization tab as well as the Purchase Order Authorization page. You can only authorize those lines for which you are responsible.

It is possible to revoke your authorization in the same pages in which you can perform the authorization. Revoking a previously made authorization is possible for purchase orders in status Planned, Released, or Confirmed and purchase order change orders in status Released or Authorized.
