The default settings can be adapted, if required.

By default, for purchase requisitions the flexible workflow is active for the document types NB (standard purchase requisition) and NBS. For type NBS, overall release is defined.

The overall (header level) release or item level release for the purchase requisition document types defined in the configuration Define Document Types for Purchase Requisitions can be activated. Overall (header level) release can be activated by selecting both the checkboxes, Overall Release for PReq and Scenario based workflow, for the document type in the configuration Activate Flexible Workflow for Purchase Requisitions. And the item level release can be activated by selecting only the checkbox Scenario based workflow.
