Approval Routes in PO processing

[Chekov]

Hi all

We have configured Approval Route by Branch/plant as per example

LEVEL 1 Purch Requistioner FROM 1 to 1000
LEVEL 2 Supervisor FROM 1001 to 5000
LEVEL 3 etc
LEVEL 5 CFO FROM 150000 =>

If we raise a PO for say 2500 then the only approvals required (in our business process) is from level 1 and 2 users.

However it seems that once a PO goes into approval all (incl level 3 ff) must perform the approval step.

Is this correct or is there a problem somewhere in the configuration?

Thanks, Al

The order in your example should only require approval through level 2. We don't really have enough information to tell you where to start looking. Can you tell us more?

Yes more information is needed. Is the PO Originator also an Approver that the route?

Managed to figure this one outmyself, thanks
Still i think it would have been a better fit to design the approval process based on an UPPER / TO approval amount rather than the LOWER / FROM amount. But there we go...
