Key tasks: Manage signing-limit policies

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.

The type of policy rules associated with the selected signing limit policy. There are three policy rule types:

  1. Limit currency – Define the currency to be used for the signing limit policy.

  2. Limit agreement – Define the agreements that employees are required to read and accept in order to be granted the signing limit authorization.

  3. Default signing limit – Set up default signing limit values that are based on position or compensation level.

Include parent rule

If this check box is selected, any rules that match the organization nodes in the hierarchy at the time of the transaction are returned. For example, if a matching rule is found at the department, cost center, and legal entity nodes, each of these rules will be returned. However, selecting this check box requires that additional code be written to determine which rule is actually applied. If this check box is not selected, then the lowest level rule is applied at the time of the transaction.

Effective date

The date when the policy rule is valid.

Expiration date

The date when the policy rule is no longer valid.
