Set Up an Approval Hierarchy for Vendors

Use the Approval Hierarchy Selections tab to set up an approval hierarchy.

The following panels in this tab are used:

  • Use the Selection Criterion Specification Lines and Approval Hierarchy Selection Lines panels to set up selection criteria and specify which ones have to be met by a vendor for each status.
  • Use the Approvers panel to specify an approver and a substitute approver for each status. You can also specify whether to allow self-approval for an approval hierarchy line.
  • Use the Approval Hierarchies panel to specify the default setting for self-approval.
  • Use the Changes on Approve and Changes on Reject panels to specify what happens when a vendor is approved or rejected.
  • Use the Notifications after Approval panel to specify the employee who receives a To-Do when a vendor reaches a specific status.

Use the Changes on Change panel under the Approval Hierarchy Rules tab to specify the changes to vendor information which need to go through the approval process again.
