Hi, is there an easier way to uncheck the authorization required tick box on the PO header level? The way we know how to do it now is to reject authorization on each PO. We have about 150 POs which we’d like to reverse but we can’t do it in a more efficient manner right now. 

Hi ​@Ruth Goh ,

You can use ‘Purchase Order Authorization’ window and filter to specific unauthorized orders which you want the authorization removed of and select those orders and ‘Supersede Authorization’. 

Hope this helps. 

If this resolves your question, please mark it as the best answer. So that it will be helpful for other peers.

 

Kind regards,

Sayuri.


@Sayuri Perera , thanks for replying. However, we can’t supersede as that would mean we are superseding the authorization which we are not wanting to do. We want to reverse the authorizations and make changes to the PO without going through change orders. 


Hi ​@Ruth Goh I found below from a previous Support case:

“Please note that I discussed this reported issue with our R&D team. As per the investigations carried out by them, this is not a bug but it's the current design of the application.

If user reject an authorization line there is a specific field to fill by the user to deliver the reason for reject and it refer the line number and the reference number in PR level. So, this is given to reject authorization lines one by one because different lines might have different reject reasons.

So, allowing to reject more than one PR/PO line cannot be supported in support scope since this requirement leads to an enhancement in the system.”

Thank you!


@Ravinatha Ariyarathna Are you still referring to IFS10, because we are only able to authorize POs on a whole PO header level and not by line level in our current IFS10 app.

What we are trying to do is simply to reverse the fetching of the authorization rules. If this is not a function by design, then do you know if we are able to (1) Revoke Authorizations and (2) Reject Authorizations all in one go under the “Purchase Order Authorizations” screen? 


Hi ​@Ruth Goh , yes, above explanation says that you are not able to Reject PO Authorization for multiple POs at the same time because Reject Reason is needed for each PO when rejecting.
