The system saves the financial information for the specific transaction number and sets the status of the transaction as “Active” if analysis/sub analysis codes are not applicable on successful validation of the details entered in the financial page.

The system displays a success message. The system sets the status of the transaction as “Authorized” if no analysis/sub analysis code is applicable.

The system sets the status of the transaction as “Authorized” if the parameter “Analysis/Sub-Analysis code Applicable” is set “Yes” and account code is having only one analysis/sub analysis code mapped to it. Else, the system sets the status as “Draft”.

The system checks the value of the system parameter “Authorization Profile required for MR”. This check is performed only for Material Requests of “General” type. If it is set as “No”, the system checks whether the login ID of the user possesses the permission for authorization.

If the value of the system parameter “Authorization Profile required for Material Request” is set as “Yes”, the system calculates the document value as the product of required quantity and standard cost. The system compares this value with the value permitted for the login ID of the user as specified in the “Authorization Profile Setup”.   The system sets the status of the transaction as “Authorized” if the following conditions are satisfied:

The system parameter “Analysis/Sub Analysis Code Applicable” is set as “No”.

If set as “Yes”, then the system sets the default value for analysis and sub-analysis codes. The system sets the status as the value of the level set for the login ID. For example, if the level of the login ID is L2 and the authorization limit is 4000, the user cannot authorize a document having a value of 5000. In such cases, the system sets the status of the document as "L2". In case the Login ID does not include in the list of authorization profile, then system displays an error message.
