Purchase Requisition Completion by Approvers

[Yamuna_Mathew]

Approvers esp. Purchasers/ purchasing manager as approvers would like to complete the information in Purchase Requisition while they are in approval. For example, an employee couldn’t specify the correct supplier or correct account assignment details during creation of a shopping cart which then can be provided by a purchaser/purchasing manager during approval.

From 1905CE, S/4HANA Procurement has come up with a new option in My Inbox for approvers to complete Purchase Requisition information before approving them. This reduces the need of approvers to reject the Purchase Requisition and send back to requestors in case corrections are needed in the requisition. The new option - Edit and Approve Purchase Requisition comes as part of smart link in Purchase Requisition in My Inbox.

Few important points to be noted are mentioned below.

Approvers should be assigned to role SAP_BR_MANAGER_PROCUREMENT to make use of this option.

Edit is only allowed for Self-Service Purchase Requisitions(Creation Indicator - S) and Professional Purchase Requisitions( Creation Indicator - R) using the option.

Edit is only allowed for Purchase Requisitions triggered using workflow scenarios in app - Manage Workflow for Purchase Requisitions - New.
