Special condition routing is a blanket term for additional route levels that might be triggered by various attributes of a transaction. Special conditions often represent special administrative approvals that may be required. This routing may be based on the type of document, attributes of the accounts being used, or other attributes of the transaction.
Throughout the KFS help documentation, we refer to route levels that are not fiscal officer or organization review routing as 'special conditions routing'. This term covers a variety of different types of routing that are explained in the help documentation sections about the various document types that use these route levels.
For example, you may establish sub-fund routing that requires that a document using an account belonging to an endowment sub-fund be approved by a role responsible for the endowment; or you may establish Contracts and Grant routing that requires that a document using a grant account be approved by a central Contracts and Grants administration area.
