Automatic processing is generally used in well-maintained systems in which majority of requisition items can be converted into follow-on document without manual intervention.
Requisitions for which the system was unable to generate POs (due to incomplete data, blocked vendor) are listed in a log. Those PR’s should be processed manually.

If there are many line items in PR, System will omit the line item, which is faulty, and create PO for remaining line items. The “test run” option will be useful to check for any error logs before executing the actual creation of purchase.
