General Information about Orders Needing Approval

You will find a general description of how to manage lists in MONITOR in the chapter Managing Lists in the System under General in the MONITOR Basics guide.

What Does This Procedure Do?

Here you can load a list of purchase orders with status 0 (Not approved). Orders that have been blocked due to exceeded amount limits are included in this list. You cannot print an order that has not been approved.

The authorization rights are tied to the logged-on user. A user can only approve orders of which he is the authorized signer. Furthermore, the order total may not exceed the user's Purchase limit per order. This is determined by a setting per user under the Purchase limit button in the Users procedure in the Global Settings module. If the order total is higher than the user's purchase limit per order, the user can not approve the order but the order must be approved by the user's authorized signer.

Under the Create tab you classify and select the list. There are a number of list types to select from. Under Show... you can select whether the text rows should be included in the printout or not. The different list types are described under Printout Samples.

What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?

You can approve orders in the list types Standard and Only total. You do this by checking the Approve box for the orders you want to approve and Save. After the approval, the order status is set to 1 (Registered). When using the list type All not approved, you can change the authorized signer which can be useful if the regular signer is absent.

Can Any Charts Be Displayed?

No charts or graphs can be displayed in this procedure.
