How should you structure a cascading approval process for expense reports based on the submitter's reporting hierarchy?

The correct approach to structuring a cascading approval process for expense reports based on the submitter's reporting hierarchy is to select the reporting structure with custom levels and configure when rules. This method allows the process to be tailored to the specific needs of the organization by aligning the approval process with the existing reporting hierarchy.

By utilizing custom levels, you can ensure that each expense report is approved by the appropriate individual based on the submitter's position within the organization. The configuration of when rules further enhances this flexibility, as it allows decisions on approvals to be dynamically influenced by certain criteria or conditions, leading to a more efficient and relevant approval workflow.

This approach recognizes that organizations often have different levels of authority depending on the context or the individual's role, which is essential in maintaining control and ensuring compliance within the expense management process. A static or fixed approval structure would not adapt to varying organizational hierarchies and could lead to inefficiencies or bottlenecks in the approval process.
