Vendor Invoice approval workflow assignment only starts from workflow originator or workflow owner.
Most instances the vendor invoices are entered and submitted (posted) by someone in Accounts payable section. When the invoice exceeds the threshold for tolerance, one would expect the workflow to go to the person who raised/or approved the original purchase order or the hierarchy that was referred to in the purchase order.
If the purchase order was approved by a procurement manager. how can the manager of the accounts payable person (who normally report to finance department) be the right person to approve and pass the invoice when it exceeds the tolerance threshold.
I do not think the configurable hierarchy can be used here either.
However, this appears not possibly by design. Is there a reason for this omission and also is there a way to achieve this requirement?
Thanks
