The status of a purchase order that comes from the Requisition Management module is automatically set to unapproved

Symptoms

In Microsoft Great Plains 8.0, the status of a purchase order that is generated in the Business Portal 2.5 Requisition Management module is automatically set to unapproved. This problem affects customers who use the Purchase Order Enhancement module with approvals.

Cause

Great Plains is set up to use the Purchase Order Approvals part of the Purchase Order Enhancements module. The Business Portal 2.5 Requisition Management module uses a different approval hierarchy. When a purchase order is created from a requisition in Business Portal, the purchase order comes to Great Plains with a status of unapproved. The POP10100 purchase order header table assigns the Business Portal user as the creator of the purchase order. Because the Business Portal user does not exist in Great Plains, the status of the purchase order is automatically set to unapproved.
