When does the PO Status Shows as Pre-Approved
-
Final Authority approves the PO, but then forwards it some one for additional approval
-
With the encumbrance budgeting even though PO eligible for approval,but the funds have not yet been reserved for it
-
Both Option 1 and Option 2
-
None of the above
A PO shows Pre-Approved status when the final authority approves it but forwards it for additional approval, or when using encumbrance budgeting where the PO is approval-eligible but funds aren't yet reserved. This status indicates the PO has passed initial approval stages but requires additional steps before full approval.
A PO shows Pre-Approved status in two distinct scenarios: when the final approver forwards the already-approved document to someone else for additional sign-off, or when encumbrance accounting is enabled and the PO is otherwise approvable but funds haven't yet been reserved against the budget. Since both situations independently produce the Pre-Approved status, "Both Option 1 and Option 2" is the complete and correct answer.
