PO Approval Path

PO Supports two types of Approval Paths.

1.Employee/Supervisor Approval Path

2.Position Approval Hierarchies Approval Path

Employee/Supervisor Approval Path:

If you are using the employee/supervisor relationship to determine approval paths, the system will locate the approver as follows:

•         User Name of person submitting document for approval

•         Employee Name attached to the User Name

•         Supervisor Name attached to the Employee Record

Assuming the person submitting the document for approval is unable to approve the document, workflow will route the document to the Notifications In-Box of the User Name for the Supervisor.

Position Approval Hierarchies Approval Path: 

If you are using a position approval hierarchy to determine approval paths, the system will locate the approver as follows:

•         User Name of person submitting document for approval

•         Employee Name attached to the User Name

•         Position Name attached to the Employee Name

•         Position Name  of parent in hierarchy for this Position Name

•         Employee Name of parent Position Name

•         User Name attached to the parent Employee Name

Assuming the person submitting the document for approval is unable to approve the document, workflow will route the document to the Notifications In-Box of the User Name for the parent Position Name or to the first position that has the sufficient approval authority to approve the document .
