How does one setup a role or employee to choose from multiple PO approvers? We have someone who does the POs for others and needs flexibility to choose the approver.
d
We have a Requested by field on our PO. Whichever employee is entered there is the approver rule that gets followed (vs whoever entered the PO).

I have this field under intercompany management. Is this what you mean?
d
Ours is set up a little differently (don't have intercompany) but seems like it could be. You could check the Field Help box to see the description. Ours says this & we have it marked as a mandatory field.

Got it! Thank you.
Last question. Under the Next approver field help, it says the approver can be selected. Any ideas?
d
The requested by field covers everything for us and we don't use this. Do you have a Workflow set for POs? Sounds like if you do, it will automatically show who it's lined up to be sent for approval to, and can be overridden if needed.
m
Yes. it does. I just wondered about the part whjere it says I can select my approver. Maybe if there is a larger approval chain, more approvers are available.
