Purchase Order Release Procedure

1. With Classification:
Purchase Order can be released only at Header
level.
Characterestics:
In classification, characteristics describe the properties of objects. The
values of a characteristic specify these properties.
For example, numeric format is for figures, and character format is
for alphanumeric characters.
·  Units of measure for numeric values
Ex: Purchase Document Type, Value, Purchase
Group,Plant,Purchase Organization

Company Head

NB, > 50K, C01,3000, 3000 – Admin Manager, Finance Manger,


Company Head

Transaction code is CT04


Class:
Characterestics are assigned to the Class.
The classification system allows you to use characteristics to describe
all types of objects, and to group similar objects in classes – to
classify objects, in other words, so that you can find them more easily
later.
Class Type – 032 - Release
Transaction Code is CL02
Only one PO Release class is allowed in the system.

Release Group:
Release group will be assigned to the class.
We can create release group as per our
requirement. Like PO Release or Contract
Release or different names as per the Plant

BLR PO Release
Contract Release

Release Code:
Release Code is an approver.
Ex: Purchase Officer
Purchase Manager
Admin Manager
Factory Head
