Sorry, I realized that I didn't give enough info. SO, we are trying to route a PR to departments managers for approval. So we have set the departments as follows: IT, Admin, Facilities, Accounting etc. Each department has been set with a manager. Now, on the Financial Dimensions side, we've made department as one of the financial dimensions and these have been set at the employee record.
So when a user submits a PR for approval, it looks at the requester default department dimension and based on that value, will route the PR to the department approver. A way to do this is to use conditional decision and say "if PurchaseRequisitionLines. DefaultDimensionDepartment = IT" or "if PurchaseRequisitionLines. DefaultDimensionDepartment = Admin" etc. then assign to approver group IT, Admin etc.
My question is, instead of doing this, is there a way to take advantage of the Department hierarchy or something similar to have the workfklow look at the employee position department and based on that, assign to the User assigned as Manager of that department.
thanks!
