SRRs are approved on C.60.02, using the approval sequence functionality.
If an approval template is assigned to the project default ZC_SRRAPPR, this approval template appears in the Approval Template field. You can use the LOV in this field to set or change the approval template.
If the SRR is ready for approval, select the RfA (Ready for Approval) check box. The approval template shown in the Approval Template field is used to fill the approval sequence. If the Approval Template field is not filled, the login user is inserted in the approval sequence. An email is automatically sent out to the first approver in the approval sequence.
Click the Approval Sequence button to open the A.20.49 Approval Sequence screen.
-
If the approval process has been started, the SRR cannot be updated.
-
If all approvers of the approval sequence have set the Approved indicator on A.20.49, the Post button is enabled.
-
When the SRR is approved using the approval sequence, the approval email is additionally sent to the originator of the SRR. The originator is displayed in the Created by field on C.60.02.
-
A status email message is sent to the originator after all approvers on the approval sequence have approved the SRR. The status email message informs the originator that the SRR is now ready to post.
When the SRR is approved, click the Post button to post the SRR. Posting the MRR sets the posted date of the SRR and enables the Create MIR button, but no inventory changes are made. That is, the inventory items on this SRR are still available on-hand.
-
If ZC_SRRAPPR is not set and no entries were made in the approval sequence, the Post button is enabled without approving the SRR.
-
If ZC_SRRAPPR is set or any entries were made in the approval sequence, you must approve the SRR before the Post button is enabled.
-
After the SRR is posted, a reverse approval is not possible on A.20.49.
You can use the Unpost button to reverse the posting of the SRR. Using the Unpost button clears the posted date.
Click the Create MIR button to create a material issue report (MIR) based on this SRR. The selected MIR created check box indicates that a MIR was created from the SRR.
After the MIR is created, you cannot unpost the SRR.
