Hi Anna & Mike,
Thank you both for your replies.
Mike, it's unfortunate that the help definition for this particular
functionality isn't as clear and easy to understand as your explanation.
Anna, I believe we have based but both myself and the functional person are
fairly new to this area. We believe that our requirement to restart the
requisition approval process(single step) if one is not in progress after
it's changed and the value is less then the set 10% variance is not
available in the standard config.
If it is, please let me know.
Thank you both.
Jerry Martinek

Hi Jerry
I'm assuming that the release strategy config can't help you here and
that you are only talking about situations where a new release code is
not being applied? The standard allows you to define tolerances which
determine whether a new release code is to be applied using
characteristics, such as value change outside a specific tolerance,
based on a percentage difference. Perhaps have a look at OMGS (under
release indicator) or speak to a purchasing person who can explain how
it all works if you haven't already taken this into account.
Cheers

Hi Jerry,
Those FM's are to define the actual event details at runtime rather than
in your event definition. e.g. if you are monitoring a value field and
want to publish an INCREASED or DECREASED event depending on which way
it
was changed you would leave the event name blank and use the event ID FM
to determine which event should be raised at runtime.
Similarly, you can leave the object blank and use a FM to determine the
object name - again only needed if you need events for different object
types relating to the same change doc.

Cheers
