There are 2 types of Hierarchies which are mainly used
1.Employee-Supervisor Hierarchy
2.Position Hierarchy

Here we will see the setting of Position Hierarchy and approval of Purchase Order Using the
Same.

To Set up Position Hierarchy we need to set up the following :

 Define Employee
 Define Job
 Define Position
 Assign Job and Position to the Employee
 Define Approval Groups
 Assign Approval Groups to Position
 Define Position Hierarchy
 Define Buyer
 Define User
 Run Report “Fill Employee Hierarchy”

We will take the below users in our Example

Create Employee

(N)HRMS Responsibility > People > Enter and Maintain


Click (B) New
Create all the four Employees as mentioned above.
Define Job

(N) HRMS Responsibility > Work Structures > Job >Description


Click (B) New
Similarly define 3 more Jobs for Director, VP and President.
