The Approval Title User Preferred Sequence does not mean that all users are required for approval and/or that User 1 should approve first before User 2 and so on.
Preferred sequence means lower numbers have the highest priority in this approval title. In the example above, in the absence of User 1 (because User 1 has the preferred sequence of 1), User 3 is the next in line in the approval process because User 3 has the higher priority having the preferred sequence of 2.
Using the approval process in Scenario 1, create a requisition with Header Org = 1 with three (3) requisition lines.
Req Line 1 linked to Org 1
Req Line 2 linked to Org 1
Req Line 3 linked to Org 1
Screen Behavior:
When you save the requisition on the Apply PO Info to Purchase Requisitions (PPMNTRQ2) screen, the status will be In-Approval and only Users 1 and 3 can see the requisitions because User 2 is not authorized for Org 1. The following warning messages also displays: “Requisition requires approval but not all of the approver(s) for one or more of the approval title(s) authorized for the Requisitioner’s Organization ID.”

Using the approval process in Scenario 5, create a requisition with Header Org = 5 with a requisition line linked to Orgs 1 and 5 (multiple allocation).
Screen Behavior:
When you save the requisition on the Apply PO Info to Purchase Requisitions (PPMNTRQ2) screen, Costpoint displays the following error message because all the approval title users are only authorized for Org 1: “Requisition requires approval but none of the approver(s) for one or more of the approval title(s) is authorized for the Requisitioner’s Organization ID.”
