Hi Hitesh,
Q1) For PO approval u need to have a Approval Hierarchy defined in the system.Note that the Requisition Hierarchy is different from the PO hierachy and consits of only Users Defined as Buyers in the System .

Q2)The system gives you the functionality of Vacation Rule .Check this with respect to your specific requirement

Q3)While defining the Hierachy you have to attach Approval groups which Specifies Amount And Document type and attach it to Approval Assignments .This makes the user approve PO based on amount attached to his position

hi Hitesh,

For your second question, i have a solution, you can use 'forward to' option. it wil be in PO screen. there you can forward to next authorised person by giving his name in that field.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Cheers
Mahesh

Hi mahesh

vacation rule is correct one ..........

Hi Mahesh just ensure that you specify what should go for approval before activating the vacation rule because if you dont specify everything will go to the other person.
