Single Person User Selected

This allows the user to choose an approver from a list of valid approvers.

This uses the same logic as 'Regular Approval'. 

  

The user is given order limits for various order functions. For example, a user may have a 'Requisition Limit' of $999999.00, and an 'Order Limit' of $200.00. This user can submit orders up to $200 in value without approval, but any orders $200.01 - $999,999.00 will require approval. Users on the same Customer Code with an 'Approval Limit' greater than the order value will be able to approve the order.

If there isn't a user with an appropriate approval limit for the order, an error message that there are no approvers with the correct authority will be displayed to the user.
