Purchase Order Approval Workflow Filtered by Department Settings

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13
I create Purchase Orders for my company and one person approves my PO's through the Approval User Setup.  I want to create a Workflow where PO's are approved by department.  I have created a Workflow User Group for one department so far.  I cannot seem to figure out how to filter the Purchase Order approval by department though, the approvals keep going to the person assigned to the Approval User Setup.
