I was testing some PO Approval function and I am set up as the approver with a limit of $0. The user puts in a PO and gets a notification that I need to approve the PO. But when I go to PO Approval my name does not show in the Buyer ID drop down. I have someone else check it and they can see my name and the PO’s I need to approve. I am puzzled…what did I miss? I am set up as an authorized user for myself and the person submitting the PO. ---

Are you set up as Default Buyer for yourself or set as inactive in Buyer Maint? ---

THis is strange too the Buyer shows set but in PO Approval they are not. ![image](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/2X/a/ab4c385f93645e65dc9d9be745c1fee03bf9e598.png) ---

You should be looking under your name in the PO Approval form. Are you in the Buyers Authorized Users list? ---

Yes I am an authorized Buyer under that buyer. I don’t even see my name listed in the the Buyer ID on PO Approval…these are the only names I see. I have added myself to a lot of buyers. ![image](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/2X/7/79564cdeaef6be8fa63d3a456b668cbf12ea07d7.jpeg) ---

I figured it out…It was a dumb mistake on my part. I had 2 Buyer IDs…one form years ago when I used to work here…now I am back and I have all new accounts…so my old buyer ID was set as the Authorized user…UGH. Now I need to figure out why my BPM quite working…🙂
