Employee Supervisor Hierarchy

Approvals can be set up to navigate the employee supervisory hierarchy, which is defined in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management, up to a certain number of levels. Employees must be set up with appropriate jobs and supervisors.

For complete details on setting up the employee supervisory hierarchy, refer to the Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management documentation.

Position Hierarchy

You can also choose to route document approvals to navigate the position hierarchy defined in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management, until a specified job level is reached. The position hierarchy must be defined along with corresponding job levels, and the employees must be assigned the appropriate positions.

Here are the steps to set up positions for use in approvals.

1. On Manage Positions task page, create a position.

2. Assign a job to this position. Ensure that there is a job level defined for the job. Refer to section Job Level for the steps to define the job level.

Job Levels

Job level routings are based on the supervisory hierarchy defined in Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management. The approval list will be generated based on the starting person specified in a rule and continuing until an approver with a sufficient job level is found. The supervisory hierarchy must be defined along with the corresponding job levels.

Here are the steps to set up a job and to specify job levels:

1. From Manage Jobs, create a new job.

2. Enter a value in the Level field. Note the job level values are in increasing order with the lowest level being 1.
