Configure the Management Hierarchy for Job Offer Approvals

In HCM, each employee can have multiple assignments, and each assignment has its own management chain. All the assignments for the employee appear in the Directory work area (Me > Directory).

Every assignment can have its own management hierarchy used for approval instead of always relying on primary assignment as before. As an administrator, you can decide to use the primary assignment or other assignments for the offer approval process. Also, you can select the recruiter in the approval chain for offer approvals.

1. Go to the Tools work area.
2. Click Transaction Console.
3. Click the Approval Rules tab.
4. Select the Approve Job Offer process and click the Edit icon.
5. Click the Management Hierarchy box.
6. Go to the Management Hierarchy section at the bottom of the page.
7. In the Approval Chain Of field, select one of these options:
   • Hiring Manager
   • Requester
   • Recruiter
   • User
8. If you select Hiring Manager or Recruiter, you can select an assignment type:
   • Use primary assignment hierarchy (default value)
   • Use current assignment hierarchy
