NSC | Ensuring Approval Routing for Purchase Orders

Scenario:

When a user with an Employee Center role enters a Purchase Request, the Employee field is automatically set to the currently logged-in user, and this field is non-editable. This helps maintain the correct approval hierarchy, as routing is tied to the Employee field.

However, when a user logs in with roles other than Employee Center (e.g., Purchasing, Admin), and creates a Purchase Order, the Employee field does not auto-populate. This is due to a current system limitation and is tracked as an Enhancement Request #97543. As a result, users often forget or omit selecting an employee in this field.
