PO Requisition Release strategy question.

[Scheinoha John]

Dear SAP workflow associates,
 
   Currently my company does PO Requisition approvals at the line item
level.  Our business rule is changing to where they want to approve PO
requisitions at the line item level AND also approve PO Requisitions at
the overall  PO Requisition Release level  when Multi-line item PO
requisitions are created and the dollar amount of the entire PO
Requisition exceeds certain dollar amounts.
 
   The SAP PO Requisition documentation states "Release procedures for
purchase requisitions can be used both for individual items and for all
the items of a requisition.  ...  The document type determines whether
the release procedure applies to certain items only or to the complete
requisition.".
 
  What my company is trying to guard against is requisitioners
splitting PO Requisitions into multiple line items so that upper
management does not get involved in the dollar approval process for
bigger value items.  Example creating (4) line items at $50,000 each
instead of one line item for $200,000.  in this example, my company want
to be able to do the approvals at the line item levels AND at the
Overall release value of the entire PO Requisition!!!
 
   My question is:  If it is true that the document type determines if
the release strategy is at the line item level or the overall
requisition level and the user enters the document type on the PO
Requisition, the user will continue to choose the line item document
type.  Does anyone have a workflow solution to use the line item release
strategy and the overall release strategy based on the total value of
the entire PO Requisition for the same PO Requisition???.
 
   Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
 
 
Thanks,
