Purchasing approval based on user and managers approval authority

So basically what you want is a workflow with multiple paths, and depending on the condition, the workflow can flow to one of the many paths?

If you are on K2 Five or higher, and is designing your workflow in Designer, you can look into using the Decision step to help you control the flow of your workflow.

If you are on K2 4.7 or lower, you can explore using Line rules to control the flow.

The problem with decision step and line rules is they can make it difficult to manage your workflow. And designing a workflow with multiple paths can cause your workflow to become too big.

From your description, it seems you are using the approval limit and purchase value to decide which manager to route the task to. Why not create a SQL stored procedure that takes in the approval limit and purchase value, then return the appropriate Manager's username? Then create a SmartObject to execute that stored procedure, and you can use that directly in your workflow. In your workflow, you can use that SmartObject to assign the destination user for the task. Your workflow will be easier to manage this way, and in the future if you want to change the underlying business logic, you can just update your SQL stored procedure.

Yeah CJack's solution works as well.
