Submitting a Purchase Contract for Approval

The approval process in your organization depends on the process your administrator has chosen and might differ from the process described here.

You can approve a purchase contract as follows:

Click the Purchase Contracts tab.
Open the purchase contract that you want to submit for approval.
On the record page, click Submit for Approval.

Note: Purchase contracts must contain at least one purchase contract line to have a status of "Submitted for Approval" or "Approved".

After you submit a purchase contract for approval its status changes to "Submitted for Approval" and you can no longer edit it or delete it. If your purchase contract then gets approved in the approval process, its status changes to "Approved". Approved contracts cannot be edited or deleted. Once a purchase contract is approved and activated, you must create a change request to modify it. For more information, see Change Requests.
