Description

Workflow Description

During the workflow processing, the system determines whether Quantity, Unit Cost, Extended Amount, or Promised Delivery Date exceeds the tolerance that is defined by the buyer. If Quantity, Unit Cost, Extended Amount, or Promised Delivery Date exceeds the tolerance, then the system changes the order line status to Awaiting Approval, as defined in the processing option, and sends the order line either to the single approver or to the buyer's distribution list for approval. The system selects the approver based on the setting in the processing options of the P43S01 program.

Workflow Trigger

When the system is acknowledging an order line, if the Quantity, Unit Cost, Extended Amount, or Promised Delivery Date exceeds tolerance, then the system changes the order line status to Awaiting Approval and sends an approval message to the buyer specified in the purchase order or to the associated distribution list.

Workflow Action

The single buyer or the buyer in the distribution list receives a message in the Awaiting Approval queue in the Work Center. Upon receipt, the buyer can approve or reject the message.
