The approval workflow is the term used to describe the way a Purchase Order gets approved. We have two different approval workflows that can be configured for your account.

Manual Approval Routing

This is the setup that generates a list of approvers on the PO creation screen that lets you select one or more approvers you would like to approve the PO.
