How do i design a PO workflow such that the creator of the PO who is listed as an approver doesn't get to approve their own PO? I am using user groups for PO approvals.

Hello Ronald,

Even though I do not know details of your workflow the workflow parameter 'disallow approver by submitter' that is available in the workflow parameters form in the SysAdmin module might help. Probably check out whether enabling this parameter is what you are looking for.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ronald,

In the workflow designer, you can setup a final approver. In case the person who created the workflow is also approving it, it will then be forwarded to another person (e.g. manager) for approval. You can also create a custom participant provider. This last option requires additional customizations.
