Purchase order approval overview

Purchase order approval is a process of reviewing and validating purchase orders. With this process, a purchase order becomes effective only after an authorized employee approves it. For example, a company's procurement manager must approve purchase orders whose total exceeds a certain amount.

With purchase order approval, you can ensure that purchases are reasonable and spending is under control.

Purchase orders that are not approved have the following restrictions:

• They cannot be used to generate other business documents.
• They cannot be specified in other business documents.
