Approval Table
When using Purchase Approvals, this is the required approval table to be applied at this stage. See What are Approvals? and How Do Approvals Work? for more information. This can either be assigned to a purchase order or purchase invoice stage depending on the Approvals Checking check box on the Purchase Business Setup. It cannot be set at a GRN stage.
When raising an order and/or invoice, the system tries to match the data in the order and/or invoice to the Approval Table. If there is matching criteria, then the line is subject to approval. If not, the system tries to match the data to the Alternative Approval Table field.
Transaction Level
When using purchase approvals, this field specifies the level of the transaction, either Line or Document. When entering an order or invoice, this defines if each line is to be held, approved and released independently, or if the entire document (that is, all lines on the order or invoice) are held, approved and released together.
Alternative Approval Table
When using Purchase Approvals and the table specified in the Approval Table field has no matching criteria to the purchase order or invoice, then the table specified in this field is used. If the Alternative Approval Table also has no matching criteria, then no approvals are required for this stage. If no Approval Table or Alternative Approval Table is specified, no approvals are required for this stage.
If approval checking has been set up on the Purchase Business Setup, the following fields allow you to override some of those settings at the Purchase Type Setup level:
Reapprove if Change Path
This field controls what happens to the approval process when a purchase order or purchase invoice line is changed, either before or after the line has been approved.

Before Approval - If this field is set to Yes and a purchase order/invoice line is amended and meets the criteria of another detail line in the Approval Table, the original approvals set when the line was entered are deleted and the new approvals required are added. If this field is set to No, the original approvals set when the line was entered are not changed. After Approval - If the change is to a fundamental part of the purchase order/invoice line details, such as item code, any value label, account code, currency code, location, buyer code, delivery address etc., then this field is looked at by the system. Otherwise, if the change is to a non-fundamental part of the purchase order/invoice line details, such as supplier due date, supplier latest due date etc., then the change is allowed without investigation.

If this field is looked at and is set to Yes, the line must be reapproved, the line status is reset to Not Approved, and the original approvals are reset. If the change means that it meets the criteria of another detail line in the Approval Table, the original approvals are deleted and the new approvals are added.
If it is set to No, the line is not allowed to be changed.
This field appears on both the Purchase Business Setup and the Purchase Type Setup. If it is set on either form, the reapproval functionality is a  pplied. If it is to be set globally throughout the business unit, it should be set on the Purchase Business Setup. If it is not to be set globally but applied to an individual transaction type, it should be set on the Purchase Type Setup.
Note: If Reapprove if Change Path is set to Yes and some, or all, approvers have already approved the line, these approvals are deleted. The line status is reset to Not Approved and the line must be reapproved.
Reapprove if Exceed Tolerance
If this box is set to Yes, an order/invoice line is subject to reapproval by all approvers if it has been amended and the value of the order changed. This amends the approval stamp record. If this box is set to No, the old approvals set when the line is entered are not changed.
This field appears on both the Purchase Business Setup and the Purchase Type Setup. If it is set to Yes on either form, the reapproval functionality is applied. If it is to be set globally throughout the business unit, it should be set on the Purchase Business Setup. If it is not to be set globally but applied to an individual transaction type, it should be set on the Purchase Type Setup.
The value that can be amended is set as a tolerance percentage. This is a percentage of the value label being used for approvals. That is, the value label identified on the Approval Table Setup.
For example, the tolerance percentage is set as 5% and the Exceed Tolerance Reapprove is set to Yes on either the Purchase Business Setup or the Purchase Transaction Type. An Approval Table is set on the Purchase Transaction Type to use the Net Amount value label to determine the approval path. An order/invoice line is entered with a net amount of Ј100. If the line is amended and the Net Amount is between Ј95 and Ј105, no reapprovals are required. If the line is amended and the Net Amount is outside the Ј95 - Ј105 tolerance, the line requires reapproval.
Note: If Reapprove if Change Path is set to Yes and some approvers have already approved the line, these approvals are deleted. The approval stamp record is deleted and recreated with the new approval path.
Tolerance Percentage
The percentage tolerance to be applied to the approval amount before the transaction is marked as exceeding the approval checking value. This is only used if the Exceed Tolerance Reapprove field is set to Yes.
Warehouse Code
Reserved for future use.
Location Id
A Location into which goods are received or transferred. This is only used at the GRN Entry and Inspection stages. When entering a GRN line the system searches for a default location to be entered on the line automatically. The system searches in the following order and stops when a location is found:

User entered location on the line. Location entered on the purchase order, purchase invoice or movement order line the GRN is matched to. This only applies if the GRN line is created and matched using the Goods Receipt tab and not the View/Amend tab on the Goods Receipt Note Entry (GRNE) form. Location entered on the Purchase or Movement Type Setup - that is, this field. Default location on the Item Master.

Zone Code
Reserved for future use.
