Goal

When a Purchasing document is submit for approval, the elements that are to be tested against the approval rules are placed in to a temporary table called PO_SESSION_GT

num1

unit total for most checks

num2

unit total for item/cat limit checks for PAs only

num3

code combination id (for account limit check)

num4

location id (for location check)

num5

item_id (for item check)

num6

category_id (for category check)

char1

cancel_flag

char2

closed_code

The code that populates PO_SESSION_GT and performs the approval checks is contained in the package PO_DOCUMENT_ACTION_CHECK that is the file POXDACKB.pls

The approval rules that are tested are dependent on the type of document:

REQUISITION
