If you are not using Oracle Approvals Management (AME), you configure the predefined approvals processes in the Workflow Builder. You set up the approvals process using workflow attributes.
Note: Oracle recommends that you use AME for your approvals instead of the customizable PL/SQL packages.
Open the workflow item type.
Navigate to the process you want to modify and double click to open the workflow diagram.
Open the Review Page activity for your workflow process.
Note: You may have to drill down through several subprocesses until you reach the correct Review Page activity.
Make a copy of the process and any affected subprocesses. For example, if you are modifying the approvals for the Process Personal Information process, you would have to copy the Process Personal Information process, and the related subprocesses, for example, the Process Basic Details subprocess.
Select the Review Page activity for your process/subprocess and set the Approval Required workflow attribute (HR_APPROVAL_REQ_FLAG) to YES. This activates approval for your process/subprocess.
Note: The default value varies for different modules.
See: Review and Confirm
Decide how a process should pass through the entire approval chain, in other words, how many levels of approval are required. Set the approval level using the Approval Level attribute (HR_DYNAMIC_APPROVAL_LEVEL). Add an approval level value to the Default Value field. A value of 1 for example will pass the approval one level up the supervisor chain.
Note: The default number of level is 0, meaning that the number of levels is unlimited.
Save your work.
