parallel approval

Parallel approval - first action

With first-action parallel approval, after the initial approval is performed, the invoice is simultaneously sent to all managers whose monetary limit is equal to or exceeds the invoice amount.

Parallel approval - unanimous

Unanimous parallel approval is a variation of linear approval. With unanimous parallel approval, after the initial approval is performed, the invoice is simultaneously sent to all managers up to the manager whose monetary limit exceeds the invoice amount. Unlike first-action approval, however, all of the mangers must approve the invoice for unanimous approval.
