Structure Type Only
When you enter a structure type but no recipient address, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow sends the message to a distribution list using hierarchical processing. Specifically, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow finds the address number for the person who originated the initial request, and then finds that person in the specified structure type. Next, it finds the parent of the originator and sends the message to that parent.
For example, suppose the message is to be sent to structure type WFS. The originator (for example, 7101 - Clerk #1) must be a member of structure type WFS. The system looks up Clerk#1 in structure type WFS and finds the parent. In this scenario, the message is sent to the manager of 7101, which is 7201 (Manager #1). If 7201 approves the message, the system then sends it to 7301. If 7301 approves the message, it then sends it to 7402 (Vice President #2), and so on up the distribution list (unless threshold values are used and the threshold value for one of the members is reached). The message is never sent to a level below or lateral to 7101, such as 7102 (Clerk #2) or 7202 (Manager #2).
