All users will have both a spending limit and a spending limit approver / approval group. Any user or group assigned as a spending limit approver / approval group must also have an approval limit configured. This approval limit indicates how much the approver is allowed to approve without subsequent approvals by other spending limit approvers / approval groups.
For instance, if a user submits a Shopping Cart totaling $100, but has a spending limit of $50, their spending limit approver will receive an approval request. If their limit is not large enough, the system will continue searching to find a spending limit approver with an approval limit above the Shopping Cart total cost. If the system cannot find such a person, it will prevent the Shopping Cart from being submitted (as long as this rule is enabled).
To assign a spending limit, see Users in the Administer Organizations Help module
If a user does not have a spending limit approver / approval group assigned, the approval becomes "stuck" and requires the intervention of an administrator. See Set-up Approval Escalation for information on how to assign an administrator who will be notified in the event that there are problems with escalation.
