Within the Administration Centre, under the Users menu, within the Purchaser Manager Approval interface the users table have been modified to have a new column labelled Conditions.
When an admin user clicks on the Conditions button for a given purchasing user-manager relationship, the Conditions dialog displays and allows the user to set the following condition settings:

  • Orders Are Under A Set Total: If set to Yes then the purchasing user will be able to submit an order without requiring approval if the order's total is under a specified limit.

After these conditions have been set, then when the purchasing user submits an order through either the Trade interface or a content managed website, if the purchasing conditions have been met for all the managing users assigned to the purchasing user, then the order will be submitted for being processed.
If the conditions are not met for a number of managers then all of those managers will be notified of the pending order unless only one of those managers is designated as the primary manager. In that case then only the managing user will be notified of the pending order.
