• Commitment costs for the project can come from either a "Purchase Requisition" (PR) or a "Purchase Order" (PO) when the project status is in "Created" status.
• Commitment postings can also be created against the project in "Created" status.
• PRs and POs can be released manually or by workflow, but the Goods Receipt or Service Entry Sheet cannot be generated until the WBS or Project is released, which will release all the WBS underneath it.
• Similarly, Sales Orders and Sales Order Invoices can be created, and billing requests can be created against the billing WBS, but the invoice or delivery note cannot be generated until the WBS is released.
