The approval of a PO is based on the user's access, nouf.
At this time, there's no option to set an approved by to the Purchase Orders in QuickBooks. All users who can access the vendor's side can also close a PO unless they're restricted to do this task.
To restrict a user from closing a PO, you can follow these steps:
- Click Company at the top.
- Select Users, and then click Set Up Users and Roles.
- From the list of users, click the name of the user/s.
- Click Edit.
- In the Edit User window, scroll down in the Available Roles section.
- Click View-Only* and select Add.
- Click OK, and then Close.
I'd also suggest sending feedback to our developers to have this feature added. Just click Help at the top, and then select Feedback. This lets us know how you'd like the program to work.
I'll be around if you have more questions.
