Release SAP Purchase Order – In the SAP system, the purchase authorization procedure for purchase requisitions and purchase documents (purchase orders, contracts, scheduling agreements and cases) can be set up. Background: In your company, you want purchase requisition lines that exceed a certain value, for example, to be approved before the requested materials are ordered. Or, you want to have purchase orders whose order value exceeds a certain value approved before the message can be issued. To do this, you use electronic approval procedures.

The release is in principle an electronic signature.
