PO Workflow approvals via Requester

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 64

Hi Brains Trust,

I read through a few threads but none had the answer I am looking for hence this new post. 

Basically, our current PO approval process is not ideal. When a person raises a PO, it goes to their manager for approval, which is good, except if the PO is raised for someone else who is listed as a requester and has a different approver (we go by dept). So anyone in Finance can raise a PO and list an HR personnel as the requester but the PO goes up the Finance approval chain.

I changed the workflow in test environment with a conditional decision that if there is a requester listed, follow their approval hierarchy. This step worked. Tick. However, it went straight to the requester's approver... not what I wanted.

As a precaution, I would like to have it so that if a requester is listed, it goes to them for approval first, before moving up the approval chain. So if someone in the company raises a PO and has me listed as the requester, the PO comes to me first for approval, before going to my manager.

Below are the conditional decision and condition set. I believe there needs to be a step in between to get that approval from the requester but I do not know how to set that up.

Any ideas?

    There are a lot of hints even when it comes to current limitations and how to overcome them by making some small code changes.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
