In People Maintenance there are 2 important fields:

• PO Approver

With this field ticked, the name will appear in the PO Approvers dropdown list in Enter Purchase Orders.

• PO Approval Limit

The value in this field is the limit for PO approval by this person. When selecting a PO Approver from the dropdown list, the value of the total PO will be checked against the selected Approver's Approval Limit. If the PO value exceeds the limit, a warning will be displayed and another Approver will need to be selected. The allowable approvers list will redisplay listing only those Approvers who qualify to approve this PO
