Add another approver to approval chain

Everyone can add an approver to an approval chain. 

Why? If you want someone other than you to approve it, add someone before you, after you or at the end of the chain. You can also add someone as a watcher if need be. 

In the Approval section of a requisition or Invoice, click on "ADD"

Then, you can type the name of the user (must be a Coupa user) in the box, choose the person and set where you want them in the chain. Make sure you click ADD when done (Note - you'll also have to APPROVE it after you add the person for it to progress to them).
