  • Call-off (in Purchase Order and Sales Order)

  • Linking to the Application Document (Contract Application process)

For this purpose, a new tab screen has been added at the Contract Header level which consists of an Approval indicator, Approver Name and Approval Date.

There is a provision to set or reset the approval flag by using a Business Add-in (BAdI) implementation.
