PO approval groups in R12
We are currently using R11i version 11.5.10. We currently are reviewing our PO system to see if we can make improvements. One area I am interested in is the approval groups. Currently we have a functional employee/supervisor hierarchy approval structure where we assign a job to each supervisor and link an approval group to this job.
Over the last few years we have been expanding our approvals to allow approvals across operating units and have created a global approval matrix which we setup across each of our operating units. This is time consuming to create and maintain as we have to repeat all the setups across each operating unit. Within R12 will there be the functionality to allow for the creating of approval group which can be shared across different operating units therefore lessening the amount to time we have to spend creating the approval groups across each operating units.
