OK GP Community anyone else looked into the new requisition workflow and uncovered some issues in defining the approval. I have a company that wants to set up an approval workflow where a the department head can approve up to $1000. That I get, I can make a work flow to look at the document amount and send to the manger assuming the Department head is the manager. Where I have issues is in some departments the department head is not the immediate manager. I considered identifying the dept using the GL account but how do I now that John X can approve up to $1000. I feel like this is something missing here. Also what if the IT dept fills out the requisition but the approval needs to route through the department that is actually getting the technology. This would make direct manager and hierarchy levels not pertain to this workflow.
The only option I have come up with is having the users fill out a user defined field with the Dept in it.
This still leaves me with the concern since I cannot see the AD hierarchy that someone will be able to approve a requisition that is not authorized for that dollar amount.
If you have a thought let me know. Thank you in advance.
