Approval Unit Promotional Path

An approval unit moves from person to person and department to department based on the owners and reviewers you assign to each approval unit and its parents in the approval unit hierarchy.

There are two ways to affect the promotional path of an approval unit hierarchy:

• Modify owners and reviewers for approval units and their descendants using approvals actions (for example, Promote or Reject)

• Use data validation rules to determine whether a change in the approval unit promotional path is necessary

• Modifying the Approval Unit Promotional Path

• Design Considerations for Approval Unit Promotional Path Data Validation Rules
