Specifies how approvers’ approval limits affect when approval request entries are created for them. A qualified approver is an approver whose approval limit is above the value on the approval request.
Options
Option | Description |
---|---|
Approver Chain | Specifies that approval request entries are created for all the requester’s approvers up to and including the first qualified approver. |
Direct Approver | Specifies that an approval request entry is only created for the requester’s immediate approver, regardless of the approver’s approval limit. |
First Qualified Approver | Specifies that an approval request entry is only created for the requester’s first qualified approver. |
Note |
---|
The behavior of Approver Limit Type field only applies to application areas where limits can be defined, namely sales and purchase approvals. Any other type of approval where limits do not apply will always behave as described for the Direct Approver option. |
Example
Requester 1 requests approval of a purchase invoice with an amount of 900.
The following approval user setup exists.
User | Approver | Approval Limit |
---|---|---|
Requester 1 | Approver 1 | 100 |
Approver 1 | Approver 2 | 500 |
Approver 2 | Approver 3 | 1000 |
Note that Approver 2 is the only qualified approver.
Approval request entries are created as follows, depending on the option in the Approver Limit Type field:
- Approver Chain: Approval request entries are created for Requester 1, Approver 1, and Approver 2, although only Approver 2 can approve the request.
- Direct Approver: An approval request is created for Approver 1.
- First Qualified Approver: An approval request entry is created for Approver 2.
