Maintaining Authorized Approvers

An authorized approver is a user with the Expense Approver role and additional special approver permissions:

• Limit approval: If the company wants to use limit approval, you can assign each authorized approver an amount limit. The authorized approver can then approve an expense report if the report amount is equal to or less than that assigned limit.
• Exception approval: If the company wants to use exception approval, you can define a minimum and maximum exception level. The authorized approver can approve an expense report if the report has an exception level at or between the defined minimum and maximum levels.

An authorized approver can have limit approval, exception approval, or both. A workflow can combine one or more standard Expense approvers and one or more authorized approvers.

• Manage authorized approvers with specific approval permissions.
• Define approval limits for each approver in the Authorized Approvers tab.
• Implement exception approval based on defined minimum and maximum levels.
• Combine standard and authorized approvers within a single workflow.
• Manage approvers within the defined approval hierarchy.
