Approval Limits Feature
If you want to use the Approval Limits feature (which can be enabled in INFlow Preferences), then set the following field values:
Purchase Approval Limit under the Human Resources tab.
Supervisor value under Primary Information section.
The transaction amount is checked against the value defined in the Purchase Approval Limit field:
If Transaction Amount < Purchase Approval Limit, then approval workflow is triggered to find the next approver as per Approval Matrix.
If Transaction Amount > Purchase Approval Limit, then, once the approver approves the transaction, Employee’s Supervisor is set as the next approver, without changing Approval Status.
If there is no Supervisor found, then #2.a. is followed.
