MRDW900103 Custom fields ZZ_COSTCTR, ZZ_PROJREF, ZZ_COMPLY Workbench MRD QAS → PRD

Validation & Testing

  1. Create a standard PO below USD 10,000 — should not trigger approval workflow
  2. Create a PO for USD 25,000 — verify manager approval step activates
  3. Post a goods receipt against the PO and confirm three-way match triggers in MIRO
