Cannot have Order Code as a parameter in the Purchase Order Authorization Rule? It’s in the Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule, but not for POs?
Hi
As per my understanding, Order Code can not be used as a Parameter for Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule and likewise for Purchase Order Authorization Rule.
Can you please share any screenshot for Purchase Requisiton Authorization Rule configured for Order Code?

Hi
If your requirement was to get your observation confirmed, yes, the current standard functionality allows ‘Order Code’ as a parameter in ‘Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule’ but not in ‘Purchase Order Authorization Rule’.
Below screenshot was taken from a standard reference environment in the latest cloud track - 24R2.

However, I am unable to provide a clear explanation for the reason for Order Code to be included as a parameter for ‘Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule’ but not for ‘Purchase Order Authorization Rule’. It could be that by design, the Order Code was only added for ‘Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule’.

This is what I’m trying to establish. Why isn’t it available for PO Authorization Rule? Some companies do not have a requisition process in place, yet still want to authorize, for instance, external service orders.
Hi
Since the current standard product does not have that functionality and there is a valid business need that you have presented, I would suggest you to create an Idea in the community with the requirement. Then R&D will consider adding Order Code in Purchase Order Authorization Rule as a future enhancement.
