BearBuy: Who can approve the voucher on a payment request form?

Approval process for the payment request form:

For the payment request form, it is actually the ‘Prepared For’ specified on the requisition that becomes the ‘vouchered by’ on the voucher.  The prepared for field defaults to the shopper, unless it is overridden by the requisition creator. So whoever’s name is specified in this field cannot be the voucher approver.  Any other person with the Voucher Approver role for that specific Org Node can approve the voucher.  So it is not necessarily true that the requisition creator could not approve the voucher unless they are listed as the prepared for.  As a matter of policy, the Prepared for may not approve vouchers for payment.  In addition, the approver may not approve any voucher reimbursing their personal expenses regardless of if they were the Prepared for person as part of policy.  

As a best business practice, Requisition Creators should not be Voucher Approvers.
