Re-approval required for modified Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have approval system for New Purchase Orders, hence all new purchase orders comes to one point approval.

But, post approval any changes to PO, doesn't come for re-approval (it comes as Acknowledgement)

This can be used to bypass approval process also because at the stage of Acknowledgement, Approver cant Reject PO.

Any way to solve this?

Hi Vishal,

In order to trigger re-approval for purchase order you have to configure approval process at "Purchase order header level" and "Item Level" as per screenshot :

Re-approval triggers only when you make changes to Quantity, price, Account assignment as Sahalya mentioned above.

Please check.

Dear Vishal,

Goto Business Configuration --> Implementation Projects --> select Project --> Edit Project Scope --> Questions --> Purchasing --> Purchase Request & Order Management --> Purchase Order --> click on checkbox for Do you want to use the header re-approval process for purchase orders?

There is a new idea for enhancing the current system behaviour:

From my point of view it does not answer the question.

PO modifications does not result in a re-approval process in case the modification was caused by an PO acknowledgement.

Hello Vishal,

Kindly scope "Purchase Order Header Re-approval" this option allow you to send the for re-approval if any changes done with respect to quantity, price, cost assignment etc .. in the purchase order.

If the changes are done with respect to item level then scope the option "Purchase Order Item Level Approvals".
