Not allowing Clerk to be approver

When I receive electronic reimbursement requests, I go through the process of reviewing and processing them under the "Enter Expense' tab.
I submit these then they go to the "Approve Expenses" Tab. I review these under the Approve Expenses with Electronic Receipts.
I review these and approve the receipts and it shows me as approver 1. It also shows a line for approver 2.
When I click submit, it says "The approver should not be the same as the submitter."
It also does not appear to accept my approval and remains in the "approve expenses" tab.
In the past, I have always been one approver and the Stake President the 2nd approver.
It appears in the new system that I can't be an approver so I will have to have another clerk or Stake Presidency member approve the expenses in addition to the Stake President.
Is this correct?

If you are the submitter you cannot be the approver as well, as the software is telling you. That is the way the system currently works. In addition, the approver should always be a Stake Presidency member is what we have been told. To my knowledge two approvers are not needed, although the Stake President will ultimately need to review all expenses where he was not the approver.

When you save the request in the Enter Expenses tab you are giving the first approval. The Stake President should then approve it on the Approve Expenses tab as the 2nd approval and then it will process.

Really the electronic reimbursement request is just a way to pre-fill the expense on the Enter Expense tab. Otherwise everything works the same as if you entered all the information and attachments yourself.
