We have an approval workflow in place for purchase requisitions (PR). Since approved PRs can only be generated into 'Standard' purchase orders (PO) we need a separate approval workflow for blanket POs. We need a way to distinguish between (a) POs that were created from PRs and (b) POs that originate as POs. With this distinction, we can assure all blanket POs are going through an approval workflow and POs that originated as PRs are not being sent through what would be for us a redundant approval workflow (since they were already approved as PRs). We also want to prevent someone from initiating a standard PO without the related PR approvals.
I know we can use the PO Type to target blanket POs for approval workflow. Is there a way to identify standard POs that originated as PRs so we don't ask for another approval? Thanks in advance for any wisdom on this topic.
