I am attempting to configure a purchase order authorization rule, in combination with the routing template, that does not require the buyer/PO creator to authorize the PO.

Can IFS be configured to by-pass the buyer if the PO is within their authorization limit or, because the buyer is listed as an authorizer with a limit, they must then authorize the PO as the first step in the routing template?

 

Example:

Buyer - Sam - Creates PO for $450

Sam - Authorization limit $500

Manager - Authorization limit $501-$10,000

 

Is there a way to bypass Sam/Buyer if purchase orders below $500?

Can the authorization bypass the Buyer and go directly to the Manager if the amount is above $500 if Sam/Buyer created the PO?

 

The goal is to remove the person creating the PO from the approval process.

Can you share what your authorization routing template looks like?

I think our issue is having the creator purchase order creator as an authorizer. Once they were removed, IFS still pulls in the authorization but the PO creator can just click the Release button again without actually authorizing it, as long as it is within their spending limits. Thanks.
