They determine whether users can modify (“edit”) an approvable, e.g. Very often Ariba admins get confused about what is the difference between “Filter Rules” and “Approvable Edit Rules”, but in reality the distinction is pretty simple: Approvable Edit rules influence how the approvals will behave when certain conditions are met. Changes apply for documents in Ordered status. “Change” on the other hand, describes a situation where the PR was created and approved, PO was generated, but to make some additional changes the original requisition has to be “changed” and a new version of the PR needs to be generated.
