Release Blocked Purchase Order - ME28
Description:
After a contract has been entered and saved into the R/3 system, it must be released/approved before any payments can be made to the vendor. The release procedures will vary depending on what type of contract was created in the system. However, the Contract Management Unit in Fiscal will have the final release on all contracts. The release procedure will be automated, and it will be necessary for all persons responsible for approving them to understand how to release them in a timely manner so that the services can be procured efficiently. A release code will be assigned to each person responsible for releases. As a releaser/approver of the contracts you will not only be looking at the contract entered into the R/3 system but you will be reviewing the scanned document as well.
