  Approval request type is a feature in the SAP Procurement Planning component that allows users to define the approval process for different types of procurement requests. This feature allows users to set up different approval processes for different types of requests, such as purchase orders, contracts, and requisitions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the approval request type feature, users must first define the different types of requests they want to set up an approval process for. Once the request types have been defined, users can then create an approval process for each type. This process can include multiple levels of approval and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the organization. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an approval process for a request type, it is important to consider who should be involved in the approval process and what level of authority each person should have. It is also important to consider how long each step in the process should take and how long it should take for a decision to be made.
