Spend Control enforced through Approvals

You are probably very familiar with this requirement. I have encountered more than a few posts citing the need to ensure that when a requisition is approved, spending is reigned in if the approved amount is likely to exceed the agreement line amount. You do not want a requisition approved backed by an agreement where the amount exceeds the value of the agreement.

One way to achieve this (aside from budgetary controls enforced on the Requisitioning BU but that meets a different need and purpose too) is to write approval rules that will ensure that any requisition approval that is likely to cause an overdraw on an agreement line is rejected.
