Approval of order

Question

Hi all,
Our client's requirement is that before release of maintenance order, it should be approved by two different authorities (i.e. one administrative approval and another is financial approval). Once the order has been approved by the two approvers, only then it can be released.
How can I acheive this? Please describe in a little detail.
Please guide me, I am new to PM.
Thanks in advance,
Beenish.

hi beenish ali,
approval of orders based on permits.....
"This method is used to automatically assign permits to MO based on maintenance activity types/planned cost of orders/actual cost of orders/estimated cost of orders....."
1.create ct04characteristicand maintain values or value ranges 10k-20k,30k-to40k of some range if your going to call permits on planning cost here in additional tab mention the tableCSEVPERMIT & any field names
ILART-Maintenance activity type
PKOSTEN for planning cost
USER4 for estimated cost
IKOSTEN for actual cost.
2.Create permit class and put the charc in permit class and for class type 049 maintain classification status in IMG.[Cross application components--> classification system->classes---->maintain object types and object keys(here plz read the note and maintain status for class type 049).
3.Create permits using IPMD and put category , order status and goto classification and maintain permit class and select particular charc value for that permit.
By the above process respective permits assume that you have given based on planned cost of the order get automatically assigned to the order,now you can maintain authorisation for the permit.Use eqpts which dont have permits and try this method......
Hope this might have met you requirement.
Plz try the same and let me know if you have any querries or no ._If working give up points'''_
