Hi guys,

I have a scenario where anyone in the company can create PR for a project. PR should always first go to Project Manager for review (easy already configured) once project manager review and give a go a head that this PR can be consumed on my project it should than go to approval process.

If the PR is within Project Manager approval limit (signing authority) it should get automatic approved. if its not with in PM approval limit than PR should be routed to PM's manager not requester or preparer manager.

If PM raise a PR for his own project, it should again goes to himself for review (unusual i know) and then irrespective to approval limit and purchase requisition approval amount, it should go to him/her manager for approval.

If PR is raise by PMs manager for PM project., it should again goes to himself for review (unusual i know) and then goes to manager's manager for approval.

I have configured following.

  1. signing limits
  2. position hierarchy / managerial hierarchy
  3. review workflow element selected participants and role based select expenditure participant so PR should go to PM for review first.

My problem is that PR managerial hierarchy does not start from PM its starts from following.

    Hi D365 FinOps,

    Can not find the menu start from Project Manager.

    Can you simply create a condition to determine if the requester/preparer is a project manager position, and then use two approval steps to handle this?

    I cannot PM field on PR workflow. Secondly as I said we are using PROJECT AS dimension. Therefore I need owner field on PR workflow. Which is not available.

    I am not sure how this is relevant.

    First Project manager is not a job or position in our case.

    Secondly my question is how can we start managerial hierarchy from PM?

    Hi D365 FinOps,

    To achieve your requirement, you need a customization. You can create an own workflow participant provider.
