Hello, we seem to be randomly receiving the below error when trying to approve a PO. Does anyone have any experience with this error?

“The authorization limit on the last step in the routing template is less than the Approval Order Amount”

We have the approver on the last step of the routing template set to blank for the Max Full Amount for PO within the Purchase Auth Basic Data. According to help, the amount is unlimited if set to blank, so I’m wondering how the auth limit for the last step is less than the approval order amount if it’s unlimited.

I may be missing something, so any suggestions are appreciated. We are running APPS10

Hi JSWAIM,

Please check the authoriser table if there is any amount set on the authoriser. Else also check on the authorisation rule if there is any amount condition set over there.

@JSWAIM ,

Could you please check your approval template whether you have specified the project role or the position id  for the approval steps. if so, Max full amount for PO will be override by the values mentioned in authorization limit per project role or authorization limit per organisation position.

Also, check whether the authorizer in the last step has a substitute and if yes, please check the Max full amount for PO for substitute authorizer
