Advanced Approval based on category
We have a requirement that POs with items with Product Category Spares go through a different approval routing than POs with items with product category 'Finished Goods'.
Further, the approval people and the dollar amounts (minimum amounts) will be different in both of the above scenarios.
The approval rule groups in advanced approvals only have very limited criteria - Subsidiary - and have not got elements such as 'Item', 'category' etc.
The only thing that may work is 'Dynamic' rules but the challenge is how to model the differing dollar amounts for the two 'branches' of approvals (Spares vs Finished Goods).
