A determinant of whether and how (that is, with which release strategy) a purchasing document must be approved.
A release condition comprises one or more characteristics (for example, the total value of a PO, the material group, or the account assignment) that have been assigned to a release strategy. If the values from the purchasing document accord with the characteristics, the release strategy is assigned to the document.
Example
In your enterprise, all POs having a total value in excess of $10,000 must be approved by the cost center manager. In Customizing for Purchasing, the release strategy BA is defined with the release condition that the total value of the PO must exceed $10,000.
If a purchase order is created with a total value of $5,600, it can be sent to the vendor without prior internal approval.
If a PO is created with a total value of $12,700, it is subject to the release strategy BA and must be approved by the cost center manager before it is sent to the vendor.
