Test authorisation rules

Once you have set up your authorisation rules, you can enter test order details to make sure that you have set up your rules correctly.

You enter a test order value and originator to make sure a real purchase order entered with the same values would be authorised by the correct person. Once you select Test, the authorisers and rule groups that would be applied to an order with the same value and originator are displayed.

To test your authorisation rules

Open: Purchase Order Processing > POP Utilities > System Set Up > Maintain Authorisation Rules.

Click Test.
Enter a Total Order Value.
Select an Order Originator from the drop-down list, or enter the name of an originator.
Click Test.

A list of all the users and roles who would need to authoriser a purchase order with the same value and order originator are displayed.
