When a requisition is released to procurement, the status is changed from Open to Closed, which means, there can be no further changes to the requisition. After release, the requisition appears in the MSCM module on the P.30.01 Requisition Workload screen.
There are two different mechanisms available for releasing a requisition. The used method is controlled by the setting of project default ZR_ADV_APP on A.20.12.
-
Advanced Approval - ZR_ADV_APP is set to Y. This requires that the RfA (ready for approval) check box has to be selected, then the requisition has to be approved, and finally the requisition must be released to procurement.
Advanced approval can be used as a three-step release process, each step assigned to three different users.
-
Basic Release - With ZR_ADV_APP set to N, the RfA check box does not have a function, and the Approve button appears as a Release button, providing a one-step release process.
