Cross Org Project Approver: A project approver can be added while creating projects who will approve expenses that are linked to these particular projects. The project approver is different as the primary/secondary approver as he/she will only be approving the expenses where these projects have been mentioned.

Cross Org Approver: Can be a primary/secondary approver who doesn't belong to the same organization as the user.

Cross Org Approval: If you are an approver from Organization Org A and have users reporting from an organization Org B. When you approve the user's report (Org B) from your primary organization (Org A) such approvals are called Cross Org Approval.

Cross Org Project Approval: If you are an approver for Projects X & Y from Organization Org A and there are users from Organization B who have fyled multiple expenses including project X & Y. The approver will be able to approve these particular expenses from Org A. Such approvals are termed Cross Org Project Approval.
