Approval GI when Using Filter @me and @mygroups

Help!

 

We added the second parameter today to fix the Approval GI (My approvals) filter because people could not see their subordinates expense reports because we made a change to the approval map for expense reports.

 

That was this morning.

 

Now this afternoon leaders are saying that they cannot see their Purchase Orders. The purchase order approval hierarchy is based on workgroup.

 

Simple logic would say we have an OR statement. If we uncheck the second line, then the leaders can see their Pos. Very annoying.

 

Any advice?

Have you tried null protecting the @me call?  That sounds like it could be “null expressions fail to evaluate cleanly” style behavior.

My construction would generally be:

( Workgroup is in @mygroups
AND 
Assigned Approver is empty )
OR
Assigned Approver equals @me

I will try this WillH.

As a stop gap we just shared two master filters. One for employee expenses, and 1 for purchasing activities.
