Automatic Document Approvals

Dean_Axon

Hi All;

I am trying to test the functionality of document approvals in v5.0 and all seemed straigh forward enough.

I got as far as "Functions>>Send Approval Request" from the Purchase order and it always seems to tell me "Automatically Approved and Released".

How do I stop the "automatic" approval as I cannot find anything relating to this and its driving me mad !!! ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Many Thanks in advance

Dean.

In the approval user setup, depending on how you set it up, make sure ulimited purchase approval is not ticked and set an approver ID that is not the user you are testing with.

Tried the "unlimited" option and no effect....
Removed the approver and got other errors so had to put it back....
Made sure that the user entering the order only had a 1.00 (lcy) approval and requisition limit....

all still automatic approved even though the order amount was 5000 (lcy) ?????

Read somewhere that there might be a hotfix or sp so could this be something I need ? I am running:
exe - V5.00 (uk) Build 24199
DB - V5.00

Anyone ??? PLEASE #-o

Do not remove the approver, just change it.

I have been playing with the Approvals and I have me set up to approve sales orders and purchase orders and it works fine.

I have setup a user with $25,000 limit as a test and it won't approve the document when i use the user's sign in.

Either I don't understand how the approvals work. I read the white paper and it seems I set it up right.

Any answers would be appreciated.

I just wanted to add Approval Type is set to

Salesperson/Purchaser and not Approver.

and i have a question for this approval
can we set more than 1 to approve document?
i know we can use substitute
but it should delegate... i want to set user who can approve 2 persons

Yes We Can

In the 2 users whom will be approved by 1, set the same approval.

User A Approver

User B and User C

User B Approval - User A
User C Approval - User A

In the User Setup, you user name is also being the Approver ID.
Or you are the Administrator
Or you are Unlimited Approval.
