Chain approver for Purchase quote

Posted on by 40
I have setup Approval workflow for purchase quote 
approver type : Chain approver 
but I found sth abnormal during tests with user 
 
there are 3 users involved 
  • UserA : approval purchase limit = 2,500  ; Approver = B 
  • UserB : approval purchase limit =100 000; Approver = C
  • UserC : unlimited purchase approval 
 
scenario 1 : A create PQ for 3,000; as it is within the authorized threshold for B, normally, C does not receive the request  
 But now even amount is within the authorized threshold for B; and B approves the request  
PQ is still in 'Pending Approval' which is awaiting approval from the approver 2 

 
scenario 2 :  B creates his request 20,000; as < 100,000; normally B can Release / validate PQ without approval  
but now he is not able to Release as BC asks to send Approval request    
 
we have for PO the same workflow and it works well  
which mean B can Release or validate PO without approval   

Attention ; knowing that PO and PQ have the same approver parameter – Chain approver and the flows are almost standard  (created from templates) 
 
Do you have some ideas regarding these two issues ?
 
thank you in advance
regards
