Field	Description
Prefer Seq	Enter the preferred sequence number of this employee for this approval title. Lower numbers have the highest priority in this approval title. This field is required. You can enter duplicate numbers, but when one of the employees with a duplicate sequence number approves or rejects a particular requisition, other employees with the same sequence number will no longer have approval access for that requisition.
User ID	Enter, or use Lookup to select, the user ID of the person eligible to electronically approve this approval title. This field is required. Enter and maintain user names and IDs in the Maintain Users screen in Costpoint System Administration.
User Name	This field displays the user name for the user ID entered.
Employee	Enter, or use Lookup to select, the default employee ID of the person to whom the approval/rejection of a requisition (line) will be attributed. Enter and maintain employee information in Costpoint Employee.

Active	This flag will default to "Y" (Yes) if the employee is authorized to approve or reject requisitions, "N" (No) if not. This flag helps you to handle situations in which an employee is temporarily removed from approval responsibilities.
Minimum Amount	Enter the minimum requisition dollar amount this user can approve or reject. The approver will not see or be able to approve requisitions under this dollar amount.
Maximum Amount	Enter the maximum requisition dollar amount that this user can approve or reject. The approver will not see or be able to approve requisitions exceeding this dollar amount. Enter a zero amount to indicate that no maximum dollar limit exists for this approver.
