For example, if there is a special set of approval rules for wage changes, a Personnel Action type approval process can be set up with a where clause that restricts the process to PA’s that have a change reason of “A WAGE INCREASE”. All other types of PA’s would not qualify. For more information on using where clauses in an approval process please read the page [Using Where Clauses in Approvals|WHERE CLAUSES IN APPROVALS].

A priority may be specified to indicate the order that the approval processes are checked. The priority will be used when the approval service is deciding which process applies to the approval entity. Processes are grouped by type and ordered from highest to lowest. Caution should be used since if left empty the ID value will be substituted. This may cause unexpected results if one of many is left empty. The suggested set up is to define a priority when multiple of the same type exist.

Approval processes can also be defined using a start date and/or an end date where the rules are considered to be “effective”. If the current processing as of date falls within the time frame specified (or after the start if the end date is not provided or before the end date if the start date is not provided) the approval is considered effective.

To get the best performance, processing should begin with the most specific (smallest) group of employees and finish with the least specific (largest) group. High priority numbers are processed first. Therefore, you want to process the most specific (smallest) Approval Process first and end with a general Approval Process that will process all remaining employees.
To get the best performance, processing should begin with the most specific approval processes that affects the smallest group of employees and finish with the most general approval process that will process all remaining employees (the largest group).

Example: You have a situation where Department A has a different benefit election approval process than the rest of the company. If you set the priority for Department A’s approval process to be processed after the approval process for the rest of the company, then all employees in Department A will be processed as part of the whole company and will never be processed as Department A. However, if you set the priority to process Department A first, they will be processed correctly, eliminated from further processing, and then the rest of the company will be processed as required.
