If Lock Amount Total checkbox is enabled the system prevents updating order lines after
confirming
order.
As Approver can be selected any User of the Purchase Module. Also you should enter Role/Position
of the
Approver. If information is available, system will try to set approverâs Job Title or Job Position
in
this field.
Also you can set Minimum Amount for which a validation by Approver is required.
If 0 - approver should approve each order. On confirming order the system generates approval route

be
skipped for this PO.
Also you can enable the option Lock Amount Total. If this checkbox is enabled user can not

Total.
