We have recently changed our PO approval process from a direct approval process to a 4-tiered workflow approval process. However, after the change we noticed that the change has affected the invoice prepayment approval process which is currently a direct approval process. (We intend it to stay as such). Per the change that we did on the PO approval process the invoice prepayment approval process which involves the officer having to include freight charges, update to price to account for forex changes and invoicing for partially red items has now also been affected and is going through the same 4 tier approval process thereby duplicating the approval process.
Is there a way to go about this so that we can maintain the 4 level approval for the PO process and maintain the direct approval for the invoicing process after the additional charges are added to the PO.?
