To attempt to exceed the variation or purchase order budget shown for the Authority Level set for the user
When you create a Variation or Purchase order which is outside the user limitations a warning message is displayed advising that the user has gone over his limits. This will still allow the user the save the transaction but not commit against the budget. The transaction is then passed to the Authorising Officer on the job for approval. The authorising officer is specified in the Authority section of the Job.
The variation or purchase order created will go on to the authorising officer for approval. However, when we have authority to create an approved variation, we can make it approved, and it will not need to go onto the Variation Authority module.
