Release Procedure w/o Classification (Pur. Reqs.)

Use

This procedure serves as a correction and approval procedure for purchase requisitions only. Its purpose is to check the correctness of the material data, quantities, delivery dates, source of supply, and account assignment shown in the requisition.

Requisitions are released on an item-by-item basis.

Example

The release points shown in the following table are defined for release strategy S1, which is assigned to requisition items with a total value exceeding $10,000.

Release prerequisites in the case of release strategy S1:

Strategy	Release code	Release prerequisites
S1	1 - Project Manager	None.
	2 - Department Manager	None.
	3 - Cost Center Manager	01, 02
	4 - Controller	None.
	5 - Chief Executive	1, 2, 3, 4

The following additional release prerequisites apply:

Release must have been effected by release points 1 to 4 before release is effected by the CEO.
Release can be effected by release point 4 at any time as long as it is before release point 5.
After release by release points 1 to 3, Purchasing may issue RFQs relating to the requisition to potential suppliers.

Prerequisites

The Release Procedure Without Classification must have been set up in Customizing for Purchasing.
