Hi Sunil,

An approver of any document is determined by the Workflow that is configured in your system for that particular document type.

Depending on your system's version and business requirements, you can define either application controlled workflow or process controlled workflow. Get in touch with your workflow consultant for more details.

Hi Sunil,

As I already said, that is configured in your workflow. It could be based on org unit, item's category, cost center, line manager etc..,

Let me know what type of workflow (application controlled workflow or process controlled workflow) is configured for your system, I'll help you in how to identify the approver from the workflow.

PS: pls say thanks, sdn way if this helps.

Hi Sunil,

The determination of an approver depends on the business rule defined.

Rule can be like,

Standard fixed user,

Org manager or line manager,

Cost center manager,

category manager etc.,

PFB the link for the detailed guide of process controlled workflow.

note: Once you configure process controlled workflow and create documents, you'll not be able to revert the system back to application controlled workflow.
