Symptoms

Client needs the ability to re-approve a change to a field on a Purchase Order based on certain tolerance. For example a tolerance would be set on the Purchase Price or Extended Amount field on the PO so that changes of 10% or more will be routed for re-approval but if the change is less than 10% the order remains at approved status.

Steps to duplicate:

1. Client wants to set a 10% tolerance on the Extended Amount for Purchase Order Re-approval
   1. If the change to extended amount is less than 10% DO NOT put the order through re-approval
   2. If the change to extended amount is more than 10% go ahead and send the order through re-approval
2. Go to the PO Entry (P4310) processing option
   1. Look at the Approvals Tab Option #4 (Reapprove changed lines)
   2. Notice there is no option to set a tolerance on Critical Fields
3. Go to interactive versions
   1. Bring up Approvals Fields Constants (P43080)
   2. There are no processing options
4. There is NO option available to put a tolerance on a field.
