For which of the following document categories can you perform an item-wise release in the flexible workflow for purchasing?

The ability to perform an item-wise release in the flexible workflow for purchasing is specifically designed for purchase requisitions (PR). This feature allows organizations to manage the approval process more granularly by facilitating item-by-item assessment and authorization, thereby providing greater flexibility and control over procurement activities.

When dealing with purchase requisitions, it’s essential to evaluate individual line items based on various factors such as budget availability, need urgency, or supplier trustworthiness. This item-wise release process enables organizations to approve only specific requisition items, depending on their criteria, streamlining procurement while maintaining compliance with internal control processes.

On the other hand, other document categories like goods receipts, supplier invoices, and purchase orders typically do not support an item-wise release in the same manner. Goods receipts are primarily associated with confirming delivery and acceptance of goods without the need for granular approval. Supplier invoices relate to the payment process and are predominantly managed through different workflows focused on financial reconciliation rather than procurement approval. Purchase orders, while crucial in the procurement cycle, are generally approved as a whole rather than by individual line items, which aligns with standard procurement practices where a consolidated view of the order is essential. Therefore, the specific functionality of item-wise release is uniquely applicable to purchase requisitions.
