On the RQS and RQN transactions, if the selected Commodity Code is subject to Authorization approval (that is, the Requires Authorization check box is selected on the Commodity table), then the Commodity Code selected must be associated with a valid Authorization Number or the Authorization Exception field must be populated. If an Authorization Number does not exist on the Authorization (ASR) page for the Commodity Code and Department, then you must request a new Authorization Number. This request can be made directly on the Authorization page or by creating an Authorization Request (AUTHSRQ) transaction.
The Authorization Number cannot be changed from one version to another. However, if the Authorization Number was blank in the previous version, you can populate in the subsequent version.
The Service From and Service To dates entered on the transaction should be within the service dates on the Authorization table.
