Can we modify an approved document?

Question

Dear all,
when we activate approval procedure, is there any option to modify the approved doc? E.g. There is PO no. 100 which is created by ABC who is originator in approval proc & then is approved by XYZ, who is approving authority. After this approval can ABC or XYZ modify the PO#100? My client requires authorization on creation as well as modification. Can we set authorizations for both creation and modifications?

Hi Kaps Aun
The scenario is like this:  if the document is approved by one user and pending from the other user perspective.  in other words if the document is nee to be approved by two users untill unless all the users approve the documents it should not allow the alread approved user to modify the document.  since the document originator inputs some information in the document the same should go to all the users who need to approve the document.  But once it is approved by one user and being modifed while on its journey to the remaining users who need to modify then it doesn't make sense.
Unfortunately once the document is approved , the same contents on the aproved document should reach to the originator.  the same logic applies while the users approve the contents untill unless the message comes from all the users who is approving the documents the originator should not modify the document.  It doesn't make sense when the originator wants to modify the partly approved (approved by only one user where it requires approval from some more users) document.
for your question whether workaround only the option i can see is cancel the document and create a new document for a fresh approval with the required changes.
