Click and enter, or use to select, the employee IDs for employees who can approve position requisitions. This is a required field. You must link the employee ID to a user ID on the Manage Users screen. If the approver is not linked to a user ID, the approver ID is not accepted and Costpoint displays an error message: "You are not authorized to use this Employee ID to Approve Requisitions."

This non-editable field displays the name of the employee whose ID you have entered.

Enter the organization for which this employee is allowed to approve requisitions.

Select this check box to allow the specified Approver to approve requisitions entered for the corresponding accounting Organization and its lower levels. For example, if you specify an Approver of EMPL_001 and an Organization of 1, then Approver EMPL_001 can approve requisition entered for accounting Organization 1 and any of its lower levels. If you do not select this check box, the eligibility to approve does not automatically extend to the lower levels of the specified Organization.

This check box will be enabled and can be used for any accounting Organization level.  Expanding on the example above, if you also want Approver EMPL_201 to be able to approve requisitions for accounting Organization 1.2.2, but no lower levels and Approver EMPL_136 to be able to approve requisitions for accounting Organization 1.3 and its lower levels, the setup would look like the following:
