Approvals Checking
This indicates the type of Approvals Checking applied if required. That is, what approvals are carried out on. Options are:

The stage at which approvals must be carried out is specified as part of the stage definition in the Purchase Type Setup.
See How Do Approvals Work? for more information.
If approval checking is applied, you are asked for further information regarding what happens if there are changes to the approval paths or the purchase transaction lines:
Reapprove if Path Change
This field controls what happens to the approval process when a purchase order or purchase invoice line is changed, either before or after the line has been approved.

This field appears on both the Purchase Business Setup and the Purchase Type Setup. If it is set on either form, the reapproval functionality is applied. If it is to be set globally throughout the business unit, it should be set on the Purchase Business Setup. If it is not to be set globally but applied to an individual transaction type, it should be set on the Purchase Type Setup.

Note: If Reapprove if Path Change is set to Yes and some, or all, approvers have already approved the line, these approvals are deleted. The line status is reset to Not Approved and the line must be reapproved.
Exceed Tolerance Reapprove
If this box is checked, an order/invoice line is subject to reapproval by all approvers if it has been amended and the value of the order changed. This amends the approval stamp record. If this box is not checked, the old approvals set when the line is entered are not changed.
This field appears on both the Purchase Business Setup and the Purchase Type Setup. If it is set on either form, the reapproval functionality is applied. If it is to be set globally throughout the business unit, it should be set on the Purchase Business Setup. If it is not to be set globally but applied to an individual transaction type, it should be set on the Purchase Type Setup.
The value that can be amended is set as a tolerance percentage. This is a percentage of the value label being used for approvals. That is, the value label identified on the Approval Table Setup.
For example, the tolerance percentage is set as 5% and the Exceed Tolerance Reapprove is set on either the Purchase Business Setup or the Purchase Transaction Type. An Approval Table is set on the Purchase Transaction Type to use the Net Amount value label to determine the approval path. An order/invoice line is entered with a net amount of Ј100. If the line is amended and the Net Amount is between Ј95 and Ј105, no reapprovals are required. If the line is amended and the Net Amount is outside the Ј95 - Ј105 tolerance, the line requires reapproval.

Note: If Reapprove if Change Path is set to Yes and some approvers have already approved the line, these approvals are deleted. The approval stamp record is deleted and recreated with the new approval path.
Tolerance Percentage
The percentage tolerance to be applied to the approval amount before the transaction is marked as exceeding the approval checking value. This is only used if the Exceed Tolerance Reapprove box is checked.
Operator Multi-approval
If an operator is a member of multiple DAG's, they can approve for each level if this box is checked.
For example, an Approval Table Detail Line contains the following:

If an approver is a member of both DAG X and DAG Y, and the Operator Multi-approval box is checked, they can approve both approvals on behalf of DAG X and DAG Y. However, this must be performed twice, once for each approval.
