Role for Purchase Request or PO approval

Content

Hi All,

As part of our SOD matrix, we have a "box" for PO approval which is conflicting with other duties like receive goods or create AP invoice.

In order to secure this, I would like to know if there is a role or privilege that can restrict the approval of POs?

I know that in order to approve, the user needs to be setup in the approval workflow, but it is more complex to justify this to our auditors, plus by having a specific role we could implement SOD rules in the application.

In the end, in order to approve a PO, the user should have the appropriate role + be configured in the approval workflow.
