# Purpose
In this blog we would see how to build a flexible workflow for purchase order in S/4HANA Cloud. Further we would also see purchase order to supplier invoicing process.
# Flexible workflow for purchase order
Step1: Activate Flexible Workflow for Purchase Orders
Make settings that are relevant for working with purchase orders.
Use
When working with purchase orders you can, for example, use the flexible workflow, enabling you to optimize the approval process. The flexible workflow allows you to use either the automatic, one-step, or even multi-step approval. It is available for purchase orders.
You can also maintain the shipping data for plants. You must assign a customer number to the plant to be able to use the plant in stock transfer processing.
In this process you activate workflow against your purchase order document type. We will activate against document type NB.
Manage your Solution App –> Configure Your Solution –> Purchase order processing
Configure – Activate Flexible Workflow for Purchase Orders
