Concept: Spend Approval Authority on Statements of Work

Approval workflows rules for

Statement Of Work Acceptance

and

Statement Of Work Payments

should be set up to route the approval properly through the

Default Budget Approver

specified on the statement of work (SOW)

Settings

. You can set up this user’s

Spend Approval Authority

limits within the individual user settings—found by selecting

More

Users

, and then opening the desired user—to define the maximum values that can be approved by that user. The workflow approval rule then follows their spend authority. Then, if the first budget approver's

Spend Approval Authority

isn’t sufficient—or if the approval rule is set up to go to each user defined on the approval rule—then the approval gets sent to the designated users.
