eSales - Setting PO Status

The workflow for setting the status of a purchase order is shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18. eSales - Setting PO Status

When the eSales - Setting PO Status workflow is called by the eSales - Authorize Order Process (see Figure 13), the following events happen:

• The process determines whether the PO is pending.
  • If it is, the order status is set to Awaiting Approval and the Send Order Awaiting Approval Email (eSales) process is called.
  • If it is not, the process determines the user type.
• If the user is a power user, the Send Order Accepted Email (eSales) process (see Siebel eSales Notification Workflows) is called.
• If the user is of another type, the process determines whether the order amount is over the auto-approval limit.
  • If it is not over the auto-approval limit, the Send Order Accepted Email (eSales) process is called.
  • If it is over the limit, the order status is set to Awaiting Approval and the Send Order Awaiting Approval Email (eSales) process is called.
