What it does
Approve a purchase order internally so it can be submitted.
APPROVE a pending PurchaseOrder (pending_approval -> issued, authority:approve_po): an unreachable-state step until builds the spend-threshold policy (nothing can reach pending_approval); declared for the day it does. Requires the doc CURRENT revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability.
What happens
Approval issues the order: each line’s quantity is written to stock as on order at its receiving location. A large order walks: the status reads issuing until every line has landed; re-run the same verb to resume a stalled walk.
Who may call it

|---|---|---|---|

Returns
PurchaseOrder PurchaseOrder! — A purchase order: an org orders variants x quantities x receiving LFs from ONE enabled vendor (the OrgVendor enablement — IMMUTABLE at birth). Lines live in their OWN rows since and stay draft-editable wholesale (max 1000 — the NAMED assignment ceiling, raised from 48 with the rows; at most 90 line actions per CALL, so a big order grows through addPurchaseOrderLines; the same variant to N LFs = N lines,889); currency is the OrgVendor purchasingCurrency SNAPSHOT (every Money on the family matches it — NO FX, lean 5); received/closed_short are IMMUTABLE non-doomed history; cancelled is the ONE doomed terminal (lists filter it). Re-running the same verb RESUMES a stalled walk; on a healthy in-flight order it refuses CONFLICT/IN_PROGRESS naming the progress.
