Maintaining Purchase Request Authorized Approvers

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage purchase request authorized approvers and limits.

Purchase Request Authorized Approvers Overview

A purchase request authorized approver is a user with the standard Purchase Approver role and special approver permissions for limit approval. If your company wants to use limit approval, you will assign each authorized approver an amount limit. The authorized approver can then approve a purchase request if the amount is equal to or less than their assigned limit.

Note

To give an authorized approver an unlimited approval limit, simply enter their approval limit as 999,999,999,999,999.00 in any currency.
