Who is answerable for an order placed with a supplier — chasing delivery, checking what arrives, and approving the bill against it.
What you would route on
Any field on the module can be used, including ones you have added yourself. These are the ones businesses reach for:
| Field | Why you would route on it |
|---|---|
| Vendor | Keep a supplier’s orders with their buyer. |
| Total | Large commitments to somebody senior. |
| Branch | Which site is buying. |
| Delivery date | Urgent orders to whoever is chasing today. |
A worked example
A factory routes every purchase order above ₹2 lakh to the purchase manager and everything below to the two buyers in turn. The manager sees the commitments that matter without reading every order.
Caps and overflow
| Setting | Worth it here? |
|---|---|
| A cap per person | Yes, if your buyers are the bottleneck. |
| An overflow owner | Yes. |
Where to go next
- Writing the rule
- When it runs — on create, on edit, or both
- Capping how much each person gets
- Where the overflow goes
