Purchases that used to auto-approve now don't - how do I fix this?
If you've previously been approving your own purchases, and wish to continue to do this, then you will need need to change the default setting which relates to this.
Update Approval Settings
(1) Go to settings -> system settings
(2) Click the 'edit' button to the right of the approvals section
(3) change the default setting as shown below and click 'submit'
Top Tip: It's not good practice to have submitters approving their own purchases (even if the purchases are supplier payments rather than expense claims), so we'd recommend keeping this setting set to 'approval required by backup approver OR someone else'.
If you do wish to skip approval being required for supplier payments, then you are best to change the setting that relates to this (rather than skipping approval where the purchase submitter is the category approver).
