Factors like currency, which includes foreign exchange, reference, and transactional,
decide the approval rules to be triggered. Some of the other factors are purchasing limit, line
amount, and received lines, among others.

## Foreign exchange and reference currency considerations in approval rules {#approval-rule-considerations__section_ejp_sk4_ynb}

If an approval rule has a defined approved purchasing limit, the foreign exchange currency
is defaulted to the system reference currency.

To determine the approval rule to be triggered, compare the transactional currency on the
Total amount field on the purchase requisition against the
reference currency approval rule bucket that it belongs to.

If an approval rule has an approval trigger defined using the total line amount, it should
be defined by dot-walking to the reference amount. The transactional currency on the
purchase line's total line amount is compared against the reference currency, to determine
the approval rule to be triggered.

## Fully received lines consideration in approval rules {#approval-rule-considerations__section_crd_wrh_znb}

For a fully received line, the line amount is taken into consideration to determine the
approval rule that needs to be triggered.
