Thanks, Wendy, I agree about it not being very flexible. Already have 2 applications that are 100% custom and don't work very well. Fortunately, Dan Sweeney explained that PO authorization is already a feature in BPCS 6.1 so I don't have to do any customization except for automatic notification via email.


Best regards,

However -- beware -- you assign buyers by user id to approvers by user id --so if buyer x has $10K limit - he is mapped to approver Y whose limit is $50K, they could be mapped to approver Z whose limit is $100K.

But -- if Y leaves the company or is on vacation -- there is no alternate way for someone else to approve without either a custom programming for switching the approvers or someone else designated to his sign on....

It is not very flexible --

If you go to PUR and then menu option 25 or PUR02 and look at program PUR170 - that is where you set the dollar amount for PO's by user - the program is self-intuitive and you can set levels of authorization.

This is the request I received from our VP of Operations:
"As a new J-Sox requirement, the Procurement Manager is not to have unlimited authorization for purchase order creation. We would like to implement an approval process for all PO's issued that are in excess of $100,000. I would like to be added to the approval loop and responsible for approving all Purchase Order requisitions above this threshold.".

I did not see anything in the Purchasing parameters that would assist in this process and I believe this is a 100% customized modification. Please, please, please inform me if there is a different way to approach this request.

Thanks in advance,
