Approval routing by custom field

[blewke]

Hi there! Our organization uses $ limit approvals by manager, director, VP. But right now it is possible for someone to charge an expense to another department without that department manager or their VP approving it. 

Is it possible to have an configuration where Concur recognizes the manager attached to a custom field, in this case department, and routes the expense or invoice approval to them instead of the manager of the person submitting the expense or invoice?

Appreciate your thoughts!

@blewke what you are referring to is what we call Cost Object Approvals. It is where you assign an approver to a Department. If the report has one item for another department, that approver will see that one item available to approve, however the rest of the line items would be approved by the submitter's default approver. 

You would need to submit an SAP Concur Support ticket to get this changed since it is workflow related.
