Background: Within Digital Paper Flow the administrator has the ability to move transactions records to the previous or next approver depending on there their requirements. The limit of backwards or forward movements is only determined by the amount of approvers within a list. This means that for example the administrator can move an order a record back to the first approver or past multiple approvers to mark the order record as approved.
