Example
You want to create signing limits for your organization that enforce spending and approval limits for individuals. You decide to base the limits on compensation levels with different signing limit policies for each of your companies. Your organization includes two companies, one based in the U.S. and another based in Europe.
In your U.S.-based company, you create a signing limit policy that has two default signing limit rules. For employees with a compensation level of 22, 23, or 24, you set the default spending limit at USD 500. For employees at level 25 and above, you set the signing limit at USD 5,000.
In your European company, you create another signing limit policy that has two default signing limit rules. For employees with a compensation level 22, 23, or 24, you set the spending limit at EUR 1,000. For employees at level 25 and above, you set the signing limit at EUR 3,000.
These spending limit policies limit spending for employees, based on their compensation level and the company they belong to.
