Hi,

In PO there are 2 types of approval heirarchies which are as follows:

<font color="red"><b>1/ Employee or Supervisor relationships.</b></font id="red">

If you choose to use employee/supervisor relationships, you define your approval routing structures as you enter employees using the Enter Person window. In this case, Purchasing does not require that you set up positions.

For example when you enter an employee in HR you will also enter his supervisor.Now in PO if the employee is a buyer then approver will be his supervisor.


<font color="red"><b>2/ Position Hierarchy</b> </font id="red">

If you choose to use position hierarchies, you must set up both jobs and positions. While positions and position hierarchies require more initial effort to set up, they are easy to maintain and allow you to define approval routing structures that remain stable regardless of how frequently individual employees leave your organization or relocate within it.
