Approval of Purchase Orders can be controlled in two ways.
The Approver must be recorded with a Purchase Order Approval Level greater than then total value of the Purchase Order.
This is can be configured on the Staff record for the Approver.
If the staff record is also marked as Restricted access then the Approver will only be able to see Purchase Order's for which he has been given Budget Code approval. You can add Budget Codes to an approver list from the Budget Approvals Tab on the main Staff page.
You can see and modify the the list of Approvers for a particuliae Budget Code here
Administration > Purchase Orders > Code > Budget Codes
There is an option to provide an alternate level of authority on a per Budget Code basis, this has not been implemnented in the Approval workflow as yet
