Fixed issue on invoice approval release

Customers were unable to determine if the last invoice approval amount was the max amount that was allowed for that user. The default setting was to allow the last largest amount on the final approver as the catch all and would surpass the max amount set. For clients looking to enforce this final amount, the check box will now not let the final approver to get permissions if the amount is over their approval limit.

  • PayablesInvoice BL
  • InvoiceRoutingCode BL
