Tips!
- Understanding and Setting Up Approval Routing Groups
- WARNING! When a department (condition) in an approval routing is set to ANY, it means that any orders made regardless of the department selected on the order matches the approval routing conditions and will loop/trigger in that routing. Within organizations that have a single approver appear in more than one department, this can cause approval loops. The best practice is to refrain from setting ANY (departments) unless the organization maintains strictly segregated approval groups or only one department. For more information on this, please refer to the following article: Having to approve the same orders twice or more.
