PR Approval Chains

Content

PR Approval Chains are used to determine which Users can approve Purchase Requests, based on the dollar value of the request. 

These Approval Chains can then be applied to specific PRs to restrict which users can approve and generate them into POs. 

Approval Chains can also be added to People IDs. Those users will then follow that Approval Chain when submitting PRs.
