Release Unauthorized Purchase Order

Explanation

An authorizer can, for some reason, be prevented from doing the authorization. The authorizer can, for example, be absent for a long time. In that case, it is possible to release a purchase order that requires authorization without going through the authorization steps. The number of persons that can use this function can be limited.

Prerequisites

The authorization template must have been either manually retrieved by using Fetch Authorization Template in the Operations menu in Purchase Order or automatically retrieved when you tried to release the purchase order.

System Effects

The purchase order is released and acquires the Released status. It is now possible to print or to send the purchase order.
