Document forwarding method

What is the difference between DIRECT and HIERARCHY forwarding

methods?

The document forwarding method is selected in the Document Types form:

Responsibility: Purchasing Super User Navigation: Setup -> Purchasing ->

Document Types The two choices for the document forwarding method are Direct

and Hierarchy; both options are always available regardless of whether Position

Hierarchies (positions) or Employee-Supervisor Relationships (jobs) are being

used.

A. Direct Forwarding Method Using this forwarding method, at the time which a

document is submitted for approval, validation will occur up the approval chain

until an approver is located that has the ability to approve the document in

question.

- If Position Hierarchies are being used, then the validation will occur against

positions listed in the position hierarchy specified in the document approval

window. Once a position that has approval authority has been located, the system

will locate the employee assigned to this position and designate him as the

Forward-To. The selection of the employee is based on alphabetical context.

- If Employee/Supervisor Relationships are being used, then validation will occur

against, first, the supervisor’s job of the employee submitting the document for

approval; then, if that supervisor does not have authority, the system will look to

the supervisor’s supervisor. The validation process will continue up this

employee/supervisor chain until an approver with the proper authority is located.

B. Hierarchy Forwarding Method Using this forwarding method, validation is not

performed to locate the next possible approver with sufficient authority; the

documents will simply route to each person in the approval chain. The document,

once submitted for approval, will move to either the person assigned to the next

position in the position hierarchy if positions are being used, or the employee’s

supervisor if employee/supervisor relationships are being used.

The key difference between the two options is that Direct forwarding will move

the document to the first person with authority to approve, whereas Hierarchy will

simply move the document to the queue of the next employee in the approval

chain, whether that person has the approval authority or not.
