Can you clarify how (and if)  the Approved Suppliers List overrides an active PO Authorization rule?

Hi Anupa,

1.If the supplier is included in an approved supplier list in approved state with no existing valid authorization rule,then when a PO is released no authorization is required.


2.If the Supplier is included in an approved supplier list in approved state and if a valid authorization rule exists,when the PO is released the authorization is required. Routing template will be fetched from the rule.


3.If the Supplier is included in an approved supplier list and in not approved state with no valid authorization rule, when the PO is released the authorization is required. Here the Routing template will be fetched from the approved supplier list.


4.If the Supplier is included in an approved supplier list and in not approved state  with an existing valid authorization rule. When the PO is released the authorization is required. Routing templates will be fetched from both the approved supplier list and authorization rule.

 

Thanks,

Nethmie

@Nethmie Pasqual  I do not understand this point.

“1.If the supplier is included in an approved supplier list in approved state with no existing valid authorization rule, then when a PO is released no authorization is required.”

What is the point in adding to an approved supplier list if there is no authorization rule. If there is no authorization rule it would not ask for authorization by default.
