Approval Group (Purchasing)
If your system is configured to use the purchasing approval process, once the user submits a purchase requisition, purchase order, or vendor invoice, it is forwarded on for approvals. These fields indicate to which purchasing approval groups this user belongs.
Available approval groups are limited to those belonging to the user's person organization (see Profile tab), or approval groups that do not specify an organization.
User's can also be associated with approval groups via the Purchasing Approval Group and Accounts Payable Approval Group maintenance screens.
Note: If a user's approval group is changed and they have purchasing documents in the approval process, those documents will be resubmitted to the user's new approval group.
