This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Approval Hierarchy Selection Lines sub-tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| From Company No.
|
Select a Company No. as a starting number for lines to include when an approval object is submitted.
|
| To Company No.
|
Enter an interval of companies. If you use these fields, Maconomy will only look at lines for the actual company when an approval object is submitted.
|
| Selection Criterion Specification No.
|
In this field, you can specify a selection criterion specification created in the workspace Selection Criterion Specification. When a purchase order, an expense sheet or a vendor invoice containing allocation lines has been submitted, Maconomy will search the approval hierarchy selection lines for the current type of transaction (purchase order, expense sheet or vendor invoice) to find a line containing a selection criterion specification comprising the current purchase order/expense sheet/vendor invoice. Thus, the purchase order, the expense sheet or the allocation lines of the vendor invoice are to be approved through the approval hierarchy specified on the current line.
If a purchase order/an expense sheet/a vendor invoice matches more than one of the selection criterion specifications in the sub-tab, Maconomy will use the hierarchy specified for the upper selection criterion specifications. If the approval hierarchy selection contains several selection criterion specifications, which can contain the same purchase orders/expense sheets/vendor invoices, you should therefore place the most specific selection criterion specifications in the upper part of the table followed by selection criterion specifications with more broad criteria.
In this way, you can reach an effect where a purchase order/an expense sheet/a vendor invoice “seeps” through the most narrow selection criterion specifications until it reaches a selection criterion specification that it fulfills.
As Maconomy uses the first approval hierarchy select line that matches the current approval object, It is therefore very important to have the correct order of lines. You can easily change the order of lines using the ‘Move Approval Hierarchy Selection Line Up / Down’ icons on the taskbar of the sub-tab.
|
| Approval Hierarchy No.
|
In this field, you can enter the number of the approval hierarchy to be used for approval of purchase order/expense sheets/vendor invoices matching the selection criterion specification specified on the current line. However, if a submitted purchase order/expense sheet/vendor invoice matches several selection criterion specifications in the sub-tab, Maconomy will use the hierarchy specified for the upper selection criterion specification.
