Define Filters

If no filters are applied, all transaction lines for the selected solutions under the 'Apply Approval Policy To' section will be considered part of the Policy and the associated Position will have the authority to approve regardless of the transaction details.  When filters are defined, the values will be compared to the transaction to determine if the condition has been met.  Each filter option selected for a transaction tab represents an AND Condition when transactions are submitted through the position based approval workflow.  When the filter conditions are not met then the transaction will be sent to the next supervisor upon approval.  When the filter conditions are met, no additional approvals will be required.

Header and Detail Filter(s)

The filter options available will depend on the WorkPlace Solutions and Modules that have been licensed and configured.  Each Solution or functional area will be displayed on a separate tab to allow policies requirements to be defined for multiple transaction types within a single filter.
