If your workflow includes multiple approvers, you can simplify the approval process by enabling the “Only 1 person needs to approve the transaction” option. When this option is enabled, the transaction will require approval from only one approver, instead of all assigned approvers.

Navigate to the Inventory module.
-
Select the Settings menu.

Click the New Approval Setting button.

Complete the required fields and enable the option “Only 1 person needs to approve the transaction.”

Click Save.
Submitting a Transaction for Approval
