Purchase Order Authorization Steps Issue

Hi Pasindu - Did you manage to resolve this? I am facing the same scenario. My understanding was that Step 10 would receive the authorization first. Upon completion, Step 20 would receive the notification.

As far as I know there’s no feature to specify whether the system should use Sequential or Parallel authorization for POs.

Maybe this could be a good idea for improvement. For example when using authorization for supplier invoices (posting proposals), there’s one parameter at company level which dictates if the authorization will be done in sequence or in parallel. This ensures that only the new authorizer gets the notification.

Thanks @Marcel.Ausan  - that seems odd, considering the authorization for Step 20 cannot be actioned until Step 10 is approved, unless Superior Auths are used?  Wondering if a Custom Event Action could handle this?

Hi all,

Did anyone get any further with this? I’m experiencing the same problem and wondering if anyone found a solution.

Thanks

Hi @wnaylor - IFS released an improvement for this in Cloud 23R2. 

Thanks @WyrJamesG

We’re on Apps10 (Update 21) - looks like I’ll need to find an alternative solution.
