Right Event of PO multi-level approval process

[vasaviyacham]

Hi,

I have to design a Workflow for PO release multi-level approval where the approval levels are triggered based on Net value.

Which of the two events CHANGED and RELEASESTEPCREATED of BUS2012 is relevant for my Workflow and can trigger in the below scenarios.

• When the PO is created and waiting for the first level release.
• When the first level release is done and waiting for the next release
• When the Net value of PO is changed and the Release strategy is redetermined

Thanks,

Hi Vasavi,

There are many discussions related to setting up Purchase Order Release strategies - here is the first hit I came across, but you should definitely do your own searches.

As far as I can recall, a purchase order can be changed without triggering a new release strategy - in which case you would get the event CHANGED. If someone creates a PO that requires release, you'd get RELEASESTEPCREATED. But it's been several years since I dabbled in the dark arts of PO Release strategies...

Good luck!
