Hi all,

I have created and PO approval workflow setup ,when I send the PO for approval ,it gets approved by my own user Id by default.I have somebody else as my approver but I am unable to understand why is it getting approved by me even when I haven't even approved it.

    Your user can go up to 1000. Current value is 1. So no need to approve anything. If you don’t want the approval limits to be considered use the workflow user group in the workflow setup instead.

    You mean the "Unlimited request approval is 1" on approval user setup?

    Which current value do you mean?

    No I mean the line that has RUPALI.SAINI has a purchase approval limit of 1000. So you approval looks at the total of your request which is 1 and says 1 < 1000 no need to engage the requesters approver.

    Check your Workflow response on the event Approval of Purchase Document is requested.
