Using Fluid Approvals to Approve Position Data
This topic provides and overview of granting edit abilities to an approver and describes how to approve dotted line requests using Fluid Approvals.
Fluid Approvals supports the following Position Management approval transaction types:
Create Position: When a requestor has created a new position (this includes the cloning of a position).
Manage Position: When a requestor has updated an existing position.
Note: Position administrators use the AWE framework and the Position Management Installation Page to specify which of these position transaction types require approvals.
For using the common Pending Approvals and Approvals History pages, see also Using PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface Self-Service Approval Transactions.

The PeopleSoft Manage Positions business delivers the Position Edit Administrator role, which enables you to provide your approvers the ability to make edits to a new or updated position request. When this role is assigned to a user’s profile () the Edits Details link will appear on the Pending Approvals page for a position request.
Multiple Approvers
When a position approval request has more than one person in the approval chain, the Edits Details link will be available only for the final approver in the chain, provided that person has been given the Position Edit Administrator role.
Use the Pending Approvals - Create Position page or Pending Approvals - Manage Position page (EOAWMA_TXNHDTL_FL) to review and take action on position-related requests.
