The purpose of this process is the review and execution contracts and/or Purchase Orders. The process enables external vendors and external executors to electronically route and approve all PO's and contracts.

The process generates an e-Builder Purchase Order following issuance of the SAP PO, and automatically triggers the Contract Approval process whenever the PO data meets the thresholds for a formal contract document.

Note that in e-Builder a purchase order is referred to as a Commitment.
