If you wish to assign a dynamic approval, you can do so by selecting the dynamic user type from the drop down box in the Name section (For Example: If you are setting up an approval to print a Sales Order, and the Sales Order is associated with a project, you can select 'PROJECT MANAGER' from the dropdown list.

Tips
When creating new approvals, enter all the required information in the Company, Document, Doc Type, and Process fields and then click the ADD button. You will then be able to enter the other information.
To edit or delete an existing approval process, enter/select the values that apply to it and the person(s) name will appear in the box on the right side of the screen. You can then select the person and edit or delete as needed.
When a record is created for a specific vendor/customer the "umbrella" approvals of All Unassigned do not apply and records must be created to complete the entire range for that organization (i.e. $0.00-$999,999.00)
