The Release For Authorization button allows the user to release an order for authorization. This button is only available if the order has not yet been sent for authorization.

Notice the Release icon against the Contract Order Header line item.

Select into the Detail of the Contract Order.

The Release for Authorization button will also appear on the Order Detail after saving the order. Select the Release for Authorization button.

The Order will be placed in the Order Authorization Explorer (Orders/ Explorer/ Order Authorization Explorer) to await authorization.

The Release For Authorization icon will not appear against the order header, but the Authorized icon will appear once the order is authorized.

Based on the configuration settings of the following switches in System Administration / System Transaction Configuration / Orders:

• PORCVAU-(Allow Only Authorized Orders To Be Received)-If set to 'Yes', Orders that have not been previously authorized cannot be received.
• RORCVAU-(Do Not Allow Unauthorized R/Os To Be Received)- If set to 'Yes', the system will not allow unauthorized Repair Orders to be Received via Receiving/ Update/ Order Receiving.
• SVRCVAU-(Service Order Receive Verify Authorization)-If set to 'Yes', the system will verify that the Service Order has been authorized when the Order Receiving button (via Orders/ Update/ Service Order/ Detail) is clicked.

The user will not be allowed to receive the order until the order has been authorized by a user with the required authorization level:
