Procurement separation of duties for approval

The separation of duties needs to apply to procurement purchases, as it can bypass required levels of approvals.

For example: If Employee’s manager happens to also be on the financial approval team, then they can only approve as the manager.

Hi Ben! This is already supported – you can configure the separation of duties on Procurement program approval policies. :+1:

That’s good to know. I have a basic ruleset in a procurement.

Step 1. When spend is requested Trigger
Step 2. Require any Manager
Step 3. Require any Finance Approvers

When looking below these rules, I see the setting for separation of duties; however, it tells me that it’s ‘missing required permissions to set this setting’. Being the one who created the procurement and a system administrator, I am confused about what this is directing me to as the setting is disabled and there is nothing I can change.

What does ‘missing required permission to set this setting’ mean in the procurement spend program context?

Just to make sure we are on the same page, i am talking between steps 2 and 3. In the example, the manager is also in finance. By default RAMP does least amount of effort, but we require two levels of approval.

Hi Ben - only the Business Owner can update the separation of duties setting (not Admins). This applies to all approval types on Ramp, not just Procurement workflows. So if it’s not enabled yet, the Business Owner will need to toggle it on.

Please let me know if that doesn’t work or is unclear! :slight_smile:
