APARChange instructions
The PO lines without any contract reference will be validated against the header contract on the PO (if any contract is associated with PO header). 
If the PO line has no contract reference, and the contract associated with the PO Header is not in the APPR status, one would need to enable Bypass contract revision check to approve the PO. 
This would work in sync with existing functionality for POLines having a contract reference, and if the associated contract is not in APPR status, one can approve the PO only if the Bypass contract revision check is enabled.
APARChange details
