Use this parameter to activate the management of signatures on purchase requests, and specify if this management is optional or mandatory. Signature management can apply to a purchase request line or the whole purchase request based on the PSHAPPHEA - Signature on purch req header parameter value (ACH chapter, APP group).

When signature management is activated, you can change a purchase request line into an order, but only if this purchase request has been signed.

This parameter can be set to:

Non: Signature management is deactivated. The signature status of purchase requests can be set to: No management. These purchase requests can be changed into an order at any time. If the management of pre-commitments is activated from the PURCMMPRP - Update budget - precommitments parameter (ACH chapter, CMM group), a pre-commitment is automatically generated every time you create a purchase request line.

Yes optional: Signature management is enabled, but it must be set up against an assignment rule or the purchase request line will be automatically signed. See the PSDSIG - PR line signature management workflow event. The same goes when signatures are managed from the purchase request header.
See the PSHSIG - Manage signatures - PRs workflow event.

Yes mandatory: Signature management is activated. Signature management must be set up against all assignment rules. Otherwise, the purchase request line is considered to be unsigned and another workflow event is triggered to warn authorized users that no assignment rule has been defined. See the PSDSIGNCR - No-rule notification workflow rule. The same goes when signatures are managed from the purchase request header.
See the PSHSIGNCR - No-rule notification workflow event.

When signature management is activated (optional or mandatory) and pre-commitments are enabled (PURCMMPRP - Update budget - precommitments parameter), use the PSHCMMLEV - Release pre-commitments parameter (ACH chapter, APP group) to set up the signature triggering event, which generates the pre-commitment.
