Dynamic Approval Sequence

The purpose of this feature is to limit the number of Approvers that must approve a particular expense report or purchasing document (i.e., purchase requisition, purchase order, vendor invoice, customer invoice), depending on their Approval Authority Amount.  Once an approver with an appropriate level of authority (i.e., an amount >= the submitted amount) has approved an item, it does not need to be approved by the other approvers in the approval group (with the exception of the "zero approver", as described below).

In order for this feature to be enabled, one of the following properties must be set to true:

Note:  The following property can be enabled to allow for the skipping of the $0.00 approver for Expense Requests:  Skip Zero Approver For Expense Requests  (unasense.approval.authority.request.skip_zero_approver).

 

Example
