Clarification on problem with PO & REQ Approval due to month change in 11i
Currently we are facing a problem when approving POs/REQs created in previous month and approving in the current month. The documents move to "Pre-Approved" status.
As a work around the following to be following:
1. Approver needs to return the document using "Send Back to Preparer"
2. Buyer needs to resubmit for approval by changing the need by date
3. Approver needs to re-approve.
This is a regular issue with high value POs which goes for the approval of the higher management (passing through multiple approvers) and the documents need to be re-submitted and should go through the entire line of approvers again.
