Symptoms

There is no way, within the limitations of standard functionality, to apply an Approval Route to the Sales Order Process, as there is in the Procurement Process.  For example, a customer may want a Sales Order to be automatically placed into an Approval Route at certain stages in its process, e.g. when an order is Ship Confirmed, so that only once it has then passed through an approval process, can the order then be invoiced. Similarly while it is possible to create a list of Purchase Order Approvers based upon Order Approval Dollar Amounts using the Approval Level Revisions (P43008) program, there is no similar program to route Sales orders to particular approvers based on dollar amounts.
