Additional Information:
- Understanding and Setting Up Approval Routing Groups
- WARNING! When the Department condition in an Approval Group is set to ANY, all orders (regardless of the department selected) matching the other conditions will trigger the Approval Group. This may create an endless approval loop, particularly if your organization has approvers that appear in multiple Approval Groups. We recommend setting the Department condition to a specific department(s) rather than use the ANY option. For more information on this, please refer to the following article: Having to approve the same orders twice or more.
