Only administrators can create new approval workflows. 

## Creating a new approval workflow

To create an approval workflow:

2. In the **Actions** column, select **Approval Workflow Setup**.
3. In the **Approval Workflow Setup** window, do the following: 
   * **Purchase Approval Group** - Select a group that will approve the user’s transaction when approval is required.
   * **Currency** - Select the currency on which the rule will apply. Selecting **Any** applies the rule to all currencies.
   * **Publisher** -  Select a publisher if you want to create a workflow role for a specific publisher. If you select **Any**, the workflow rules apply to all publishers.
   * **Total Amount** - Specify the maximum allowable spend limit for an individual transaction without the need for approval. Transactions exceeding this limit must be reviewed and approved by the designated Purchase Approval Group.
4. Select **Create Rule**.
5. Select **Save**.
