Hi. We've had an inquiry from a site we're supporting about modifying the Purchase order approval workflow. The basic requirement is that if a user creates a purchase order, and the value of the purchase order is less than their personal signing limit, the purchase order is automatically approved.
This seems to run counter to the basic design of the workflows which seem to assume that every document has to be approved by at least one other person.
However, we developed a workaround by including a condition (IF) in the workflow that basically said "If user = A and value < X" then branch to a step which auto approved the purchase order.
But the users would like to simplify the maintenance of the workflows by being able to reference the Employee signing limits in the condition for Auto approval. But it seems that the only time you get access to the Employee signing limits in a condition, is when you are setting up the Exit condition in a Hierarchy approval.
Is this a common requirement - has anyone else had to do this?
Thanks
Tim
