Present pop-up to user on save of purchase requisition

[Partha Chatterjee]

Margaret,

The release strategy is determined prior to kick off of the workflow.  There
are a couple of work arounds I can think of:

1) Use one release in the background but have the user choose the release
levels in between.  In this case you are only using one dummy release
strategy.

2) Have all reqs require 8 approval levels.  Then once the user has
determined the number of approvals via the appropriate selection screen.
Have go through the appropriate approvals.  If there are extrat approvals
have SAP release them automagically in the background.

With regards,
Partha
