Approval processes determine who, if anyone, needs to approve a request and control what users and/or groups are added to a request’s approval flow.
Configurable approval rules within each unique approval process allow you to build one dynamic structure that will add approvers based on conditions.
Examples include adding approvers based on total cost, specific commodities, if the requester created a non-catalog (ad-hoc) item, or other custom criteria.
Guided buying uses the same approval processes as SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing, and can be further customized to meet specific approval requirements for unique Guided Buying scenarios.
