approval workflow of SRM

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

I want to implement a approval workflow based on cost center as below:

all requisition has to be approved by the cost center owner（the department manager）.

if the amount is beyond 2500$, it then needs to be approved by the Finance Manager.

Can we implement this through setting the department manager as the cost center owner and give the requisitor a spending limit of 2500$, and give the finance manager a approval limit of 10000$?

If so, the will the approval of the cost center owner and the finance manager be sequencial or parallel?

and if the cost owner submit a purchase requisition , will do he need to approve himself?

Thanks for help

Hello Han Yong !

        Is it the requirement that requisitions less than $2500 has to be approved by department manager and the requisitions less than $10000 has to be approved by finance manager ?

        If so, create a background method or rule to first determine the value of requisition. and depending on the value, pick the appropriate manager.

        You've stated as follows :

If so, the will the approval of the cost center owner and the finance manager be sequential or parallel?

          It all depends on how you want the approvers to approve. You can configure either way. Do you want first the cost owner to approve first followed by finance manager ? Or you want to send the work item simultaneously to both these apprpovers ?

           Also you've stated as follows :

if the cost owner submit a purchase requisition , will do he need to approve himself?

          It depends on whether you wanted cost owner to be approver.
