Hi @Mirali ,

We are using PR with authorization in IFS 10 and haven't found anyway out of box to configure PR authorization to use total PR amount instead of authorization by line.  Purchase Order authorization does use PO total amount and we are considering just creating PO's and authorizing them.

hi @william.klotz ,

thanks for your prompt response, i am still looking for a way out to cater this requirement. Good to hear that its possible in PO. Lets see if anyone else can come up with some sort of resolution.

No way to do it that I’m aware of on the Purch Req either using the standard authorizations.  We have the same requirement for the total value, not the line value.  We’ve talked around this problem for 5 years and always end up abandoning the Authorization module at the PR level and just revert to using a DocMan attachment with the authorization as a backup, but not an active signoff.

Would need to be a feature request or some sort of customization.

I have checked in latest UPD (UPD 10) of APP 10 and it is not possible.

Still it is not allowing to do PR authorization on the total PR amount. It is considering the PR line amount.

This similar concern has been previously reported to RnD and see below for their explanation.

“The authorization for a Purchase Requisition is checked line by line which is clearly mentioned in the help documentation. Therefore this is working as designed. Pls. refer below link. http://docweb.corpnet.ifsworld.com/ifsdoc/Apps8/documentation//en/Procurement/AboutPurchaseAuthorization.htm 

Basically authorization validation base on the amount in the PR line, amount can be set to the PR when connect supplier to the PR line. In the PR, the supplier can handle only the line level. Therefore authorization will be performed by comparing the amount of the requisition line with the values entered in the Minimum and Maximum fields in the PR authorization rule. But when come to the PO, the supplier is in the PO header; therefore the authorization for a Purchase Order is checked by the entire order total. When
So, considering above information, the  reported issue is qualified as the enhancement request for the future development.”
