Purchase Order approval

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

New to Nav and trying to get PO approval set-up.  Can I have it so multiple people could approve a PO (either all see the PO for approval or the user specifies the approver?).

Have seen icon 'department approval' but don't know if this will help.

cheers

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply, certainly helps.

    Also, if the initial approver is unavailable (e.g. on holiday) can the person raising the PO select another approver; or can another approver access the PO to approve it?

    I'll find out about the 'Departmental approvers', I can see it in 'user set-up' window.

    cheers

    Hi,

    When you say multiple people, do you mean in a hierarchy? i.e. section heads approves the PO then sends to department head to approve the same P

    If yes, then NAV can cater to this.  You can set a Purchase Limit amount for the user say 50 dollars.  Hence, when the PO Amount is 50 below, the document is auto approve based on the user purchase limits.  IF the PO Amount is 50.01 dollars then it goes to the approval hierarchy set for the user (if the approval type=approver).

    Where did you see the icon 'Department Approval'?

    In standard NAV W1 or AU, we do not have the icon Department Approval.  It might be a modification on your database; hence, seek assistance with your partner on how this functionality works in relation to standard approval process.
