Create Blanket Releases automatically, kick of PO approval to use limits
I am having an issue with the settings in R12 (should be same as 11.5.10) for automatic creation of blanket releases from the planner's workbench. Everything is setup to create automatically but I want to stop the auto approval.
Here is what I want to do.
1) Need the releases created automatically (is happening now) from the planner's workbench
2) The blanket release needs to be approved based on the buyer's approval limits. I know there are a couple of settings that can control this - the Release Option on the ASL (currently using Automatic Release which I believe sets automatically to Approved - no limits checked). If I change the Release Option to Release Using AutoCreate, will this automatically kick off the PO approval piece? How do the flags in the workflow need to be set in this scenario - can Is Automatic Approval Allowed? be set to N? Or is Automatic Release/Review an option or does this
