RQ02


RQ02.1 - Approval Codes

**Form Purpose
Use Approval Codes (RQ02.1) to define approval codes for the company.
Approval codes define the management hierarchy used for approving a
requisition.

**More Information
Each approval code can have up to six levels of approval. The highest level
is Level 1. Each level of approval is assigned a Lower Limit, the lowest total
value of a requisition that would require this person's approval.

The levels are also assigned an authorization ID which allows the person
access to those requisitions requiring approval. The authorization ID must be
valid for the level of authority viewing the requisition. Approval codes are
assigned to every requester. A requisition must be approved by all the levels
within the approval code before the requisition can be picked or processed by
a buyer.

Note Lawson requires at least one approval code with at least one approval
level. You can bypass using the approval process by setting up one approval
code with a high lower limit (for example, 999,999).
