{

\_PurchPropItemTemplate.clear();  
\_PurchPropItemTemplate.initFromtmpPurchReq(TmpPurchReq);  
\_PurchPropItemTemplate.AxsPurchPropID = \_PurchPropTable.PurchPropID;  
\_PurchRequestLine = AxsTmpPurchReq.PurchRequestline(true);  
\_PurchRequestLine.AxsPurchPropID = \_PurchPropTable.PurchPropID;  
\_PurchRequestLine.AxsPropStatus = PropStatus::Approval;  
\_PurchRequestLine.BuzItemDesc = TmpPurchReq.BuzItemDesc;

\_PurchRequestLine.update();  
\_PurchPropItemTemplate.insert();  
}

That property exists in AX 2012. You have tagged your post under AX 2012.  
There is no such property in AX 2009, you have to write code.  
In active method of the data source,  
button.enabled(dataSource.RecId);
