The following values are available: ‘+ Go Up Management Chain: The journal batch maves up the approval hierarchy until it has been approved by an approver whose authorization limit is sufficient to allow the approval. The journal batch must be approved by all intermediate approvers as well (this is the default value). + Go Direct: The journal batch is sent directly to the first approver in the approval hierarchy who has an authorization limit high enough to allow approval, The preparer's direct manager receives a courtesy notice. ‘+ One Stop, Then Go Direct: The journal batch is first sent to the preparer’s manager for approval. If further approvals are required, the journal batch is directly sent to the first approver in the approval hierarchy who has an authorization limit high enough to allow approval. ‘These profile options are not used in the AME approval. These profile works only in standard journal approval.
