Yossup, the next approver requires the internalID of the employee rather than the employee name

Ohh okay! I'll try that when I get in to work.

<@U5YH2NETE> so for instance, do I set the Next Approver to the internalID (which is 804 in this case). How do I go about setting the Next Approver to the InternalID??

<@UJ0BHPWBX>, if you are using a formula then you will have to pick the internal ID of the next approver. A far easier method would be to not use a formula, instead when you are in the workflow, go to action, Set field value, select field as next approver and select the “from record” radio button, select record as Vendor and field as your custom field. :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U5YH2NETE> ha ya, thanks I figured it out last night! I originally did exactly just that, but still the field was not populating. The issue was that the set field value was set to on entry instead of after user edit, and trigger or field vendor of the bill. This way when the user changes the vendor, the set field value triggers and updates. Thanks for the reply though!!
