We are planning to implement a PO approval process. The approver is determined by the approval limit but the PO doesn't have to go through each approver. Just the final approver. For example, if the approval limit is: Purchase Approver (PA) of Requestor - 0 to 10k PA of the PA of Requestor - 10k to 25k PA of the PA of the PA of Requestor - over 25k If the PO amount is 30k, then it does not need to be routed to the levels 1 and 2 approvers, just the last one. After that, all POs will have to go through the finance team approval. Is this doable using the native approval process or a custom workflow must be created? It appears that the native approval requires going through each approver although the final approver can override the approval hierarchy.

Yea you can do this via workflow. The transition criteria is what will move the PO to the correct state or Approver The hard part will be assigning the multiple approves to each employee. Workflows can’t join through multiple levels like you are showing so you would have to dynamically store the PA of the PA of the employee in custom fields like “Purchase Approver Level 2”. Which could get tricky
