Double approval workflow when purchase orders are created from a blanket purchase order

Hi,

We have an approval workflow for purchase orders and blanket purchase orders.

When we create a purchase order from an already approved blanket purchase order, the system requests approval again. Is it possible to automatically approve purchase orders made from an approved blanket order?

Hi,

When a purchase order is created from a blanket purchase order I don't believe there are any fields on the header updated but there are fields on the purchase order line that are stamped with the blanket purchase order no and also the blanket purchase order line.

You could use these fields on the purchase order workflow so that only purchase orders not created from a blanket purchase order need approval. See example below.

Purchase order workflow On Condition.

Add a filter on the purchase line.

When trying to send po for approval you get the following

So the purchase order can be released as normal process.

Hope that helps,

Shauna

Hi, because after creating a Purchase Order, users can modify key fields such as quantity and amount. I think it needs to be reviewed again before posting.

If you don't need to initiate Purchase Order approval, I think disabling Workflow is also a solution.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks
