Approving a Purchase Order
SFS allows for PO approval to happen automatically when it is created. This option is set by logon ID in the Operator Preferences panel. Some campuses may choose to separate those two responsibilities. A PO can be approved through the PO Header panel. Another way to approve PO's is through PO Workbench. PO Workbench can be used to initiate approval, dispatch, print or cancel a PO. A later section on "Dispatching a Purchase Order" will show you how PO Workbench works.
