    Hi Lakshan

    below link you can get the information how to setup Document Approval Process

    [View:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338778.aspx:750:50]

    once the setup is done the approval Hierarchy you can setup as given below

    from the approval Setup window go to the User Setup there you need focus on the below mention columns for purchase approval

    1. User Id

    2. Approver ID

    3. Purchase Amount Limit

    4. Unlimited Purchase Approval

    5. Substitute (if you need delegation)

    6. E-mail (if you enable notification on approval setup)

    now when you fill up the approval user setup your approval Hierarchy should look like below attached Image

    Document-Approval.JPG

    and this is how the NAV Default is working for multiple approval based on the Approval Limit.

    if the Order Limit is <=1M then it is required approval of user 2 Only

    if the Order Limit is >1M<=5M then its required User 2 & User 3 Approval 

    if the order Limit is >5M then it will Go to User 2 after user 2 Approval it will go to user 3 after his approval it will go to User 4 once he done order will be released for transactions. 

    Thanks

    Since you are in the version 2013, you do not have the luxury of using approval workflow which is available in the version 2016. Dynamics NAV do have a purchase approval module build in for 2013 version and please do follow below link on how to set up the approval : msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd338778(v=nav.70).aspx

    Hi Lakshan,

    You can try setting up like this: msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd338778(v=nav.70).aspx

    Or if you like to customize you can follow this approval pattern:

    [1] medium.com/.../approvals-for-card-pages-20dfb8e427d1

    [2] medium.com/.../approvals-for-list-pages-8c44a309818b

    In this pattern, you still have to further customize to handle the multiple users.
