What’s the Difference Between “No Limit” and 0 in Approval Limits?

When configuring invoice approval limits in Brightflag, "No Limit" and 0 have distinct meanings and affect the approval workflow differently.


Key Differences

SettingBehavior
0The user is added to the workflow but cannot be the final approver for any amount. Their supervisor is automatically added as an additional approver.
No LimitTreated as a null value. The user is added to the workflow, and the fallback approver is assigned automatically.

When to Use Each

  • Use 0 if the user should be part of the workflow but not authorized to give final approval.

  • Use No Limit if the fallback approver should be automatically applied instead.

⚠️ Setting incorrect limits can unintentionally alter invoice routing. Always review approval workflows after making changes.
