    Article summary

    Consider an approval structure as follows:

    • The AP team needs to approve all bills.

    • Bills above $5,000 must also be approved John.

    The rules can be read as follows:

    Rule

    Outcome

    If the total amount of the bill is greater than or equal to $0

    Route to the AP Department

    Unless the total amount of the bill is greater than or equal to $5,000

    Route to the AP Department and John

    In addition when there are multiple users the Approve sequentially button can be toggled on to force sequential approval of user list. For the example above, if checked, this would follow top down order and would require the AP Department to approve before John Paul can approve.

    Now, expanding on the previous example:

    • Steve and Sean are running projects. As a result, they need to review all bills/receipts coming from Home Depot, Cleveland Electric, or David’s Plumbing

    The rules can be read as follows:

    Rule

    Outcome

    If the Total Amount is greater than or equal to $0

    Route to the AP Department

    Unless the Vendor Name is Home Depot, Cleveland Electric, or David’s Plumbing

    Route to the AP Department, Sean, and Steve

    Unless the Total Amount is greater than $5,000

    Route to the AP Department and John

    Unless the Vendor Name is Home Depot, Cleveland Electric, or David’s Plumbing

    Route sequentially to the AP Department, Sean, Steve, and then John
