The overpayment process type contains the rules that define if and how an overpayment process is approved. If an overpayment process type does not reference an approval details, the related overpayment processes do not require third-party approval before they proceed. If an overpayment process type references approval detail, the approval hierarchy defines if the overpayment process requires approval and who the authorized approvers are. For example, an overpayment process type can be configured with the following approval hierarchy:
Overpayment Processes <= $10 do not require approval
Overpayment Processes > $10 and <= $100 require the approval of a user that belongs to the "level 1 approvers role"
Overpayment Processes > $100 requires the approval of a user that belongs to the "level 2 approvers role"
The overpayment process type includes a setting to indicate if the overpayment process requires Single approval or Multiple levels of approval. If there is an overpayment process for $200 and the overpayment process type is configured for Single approval, only one approval is needed by the "level 2 approvers role". If instead the overpayment process type for this record indicates Multiple levels of approval: first a user that belongs to the "level 1 approvers role" must approve the overpayment process; afterwards, the overpayment process must be approved by a user that belongs to the "level 2 approvers role".
