Hierarchy-Based Approvals is an alternative method for managing the compensation planning approval process that does not use a route map. This method allows the compensation manager to drill down through an organization to view the decisions that have been made. Once the manager is satisfied, a single button allows them to approve all for their entire organization.
It is important to note that hierarchy-based approvals are invalid for Variable Pay configuration. If you plan on using Variable Pay, this may not be recommended to prevent confusion among end users about having two separate approval mechanisms. Be sure to discuss fully with your implementation consultant if you think this method is one your company should consider using.
