Creating Approval Unit Hierarchies

Administrators can set up an approval process and organize data into approval units for the purpose of review. See Managing the Approval Process.

The Approval Unit hierarchy contains the entities that are part of the review process. An approval unit consists of a combination of Scenario, Year, Period and Entity.

You must be a Service Administrator to create, modify or delete an Approval Unit hierarchy.
