Making RFQ mandatory for creation of purchase order

Question

Hi,
I need to set up the following:
1. For specific purchase order document types, RFQ should be mandatory i.e. it should not be possible to create purchase order before RFQ is created.
2. Purchase orders can be created only if RFQ is approved.  How can i set up the release strategy in RFQ?
Thanks in anticipation of your reply.

Hello Sameet,
1. You can use default parameter EVO to make the RFQ manadatory for purchase order. In the parameter you need to flag mark "reference to reference document " indiactor on Fast processing tab and assign this parameter to the user profile.
2. For setting up RFQ approval process, please follow the steps:
You must perform the following steps:
1.  Create characteristics and classes
        For more on this topic, see Edit Characteristics and Edit Classes.
Note
If you wish to link your release procedure to workflow, you must perform steps 2 and 3. You make these settings in Customizing for Business Workflow (Basis -> Business Management).
Otherwise, continue with step 4.
2.  Define organizational plan
        For more on this topic, see Edit Organizational Plan.
3.  Assign standard tasks and activate event-receiver linkage.
        For more on this topic, see Perform Task- Specific Customizing.
4.  Set up release procedure for RFQs
    a)  Create release group
    b)  Create release code
    c)  Create release indicator
    d)  Create release strategy
Hope this helps
