purchase authorization rule with cost center
Best answer by KMAC
Hello,
Not sure if this helps but I was trying to do something similar-
I know that you can create a Purchase Requisition Authorization Rule based on the Order code or Purchase group. Im not sure if there is a method specifically for cost centre but depending on the nature of your requirements you could apply a new order code/purchase group as a work around?
Hope that works?

Thanks KMAC i didnt check the PR workflow. I thought PR and PO has the same setup features but abviously they are differently. in PR authorization i can add the preposting for cost centers.

There is no option for Purchase Order Authorization by Cost Centre in general, only for sites.
But that would be a laborious set-up as you will have to create one Authorization rule per site.
Another workaround would be to enter cost centre managers as Coordinators, but I wouldn’t recommend that either.
Your best option is the one mentioned by KMAC, i.e. to use purchase requisition authorization where you have the option to use pre-posting as basis for the purchase. You can set up a combination of preposting against cost centre as mandatory on purchase requisitions and an order code that is not used by the automated MRP.
