The approval rules would not be selected by the individual submitting an invoice request, but would automatically be routed based on the GL account (fund, department or project)
Agree, it would be much better if the approval would route to the appropriate approver by the GL account. As in approving the line and not the invoice). I know webpurchasing has it that each line needs to be approved but it is approved by the approver for the whole document. There are times when multiply items are purchased from one vendor but is distributed to multiple accounts. The approver has to have access to all the accounts in order to approve the document, even if the GL account is not in their budget, and then the person that should be approving that line, does not approve it.
