Purchase Order Workflow questions

[Matheus_Boneli]

1. PO can be modified by the approver, how can we prevent this?
2. When I tested this scenario and modified the PO using the approver account, the approver becomes the WF initiator, so the level of approvers has moved up, how can we avoid this scenario? The approver level should not be changed.- how can this be configured?
3. The approver 1 is on leave/absent, can the approver assign the WF to another person/employee in his/her behalf while he/she is away?

About the two first questions,

• It depends about the scenario, usually the approver has the role SAP_BR_PROCUREMENT_MANAGER assigned and this role doesn't allow the user to edit POS.
  In case the approver has the Role SAP_BR_PURCHASER or the business catalogs SAP_MM_BC_PO_MANAGE_PC (Manage Purchase Order app) and/or the catalog SAP_MM_BC_PO_PROCESS_MC (Purchase Order - Advanced apps) you can restrict the user access to only read.

About the third question,

• A user that has access to the Manage Workflow for Purchase Order (role SAP_BR_BPC_EXPERT) can change the approvers.
