The approval process is based on a hierarchical system and is structured around the commodity tree. When you assign an approver / approval group to a commodity level, that approver becomes responsible for approving that commodity level and all its sub-levels. This is true unless a new approver / approval group is assigned to a sub-level, in which case the new approver becomes responsible for that level and all the levels below the sub-level.
For example, if an approver / approval group is assigned to the Apparel, Luggage, and Personal Toiletry Products commodity level, that approver is responsible for the following levels:
If a second approver is assigned to the Clothing commodity level, the second approver is responsible for that commodity level and all its sub-levels.
In addition to assigning an approver, you can assign the maximum quantity amount the approver can accept. If a Shopping Cart contains a quantity amount that is over the maximum amount for that approver, the approver only approves their assigned amount. The amount above their maximum amount is then routed to the next approver in the commodity approver tree for approval.
For each organization, to assign an approver to a commodity level, see Commodity Approver in the Administer Organizations Help module.
