This is a derived field based on hierarchical information in the system to show the user what the system will use when the "First Manager" option is chosen in approvals. The order of determination starts with what is entered as the ‘Reports To’ person on the assignment itself.
Sequence of processing to derive the employee's first manager:
- IEAS Supervised by filled in
- IDPS manager filled in
- IDPS manager's position has an incumbent
- Repeat #2 and #3 up to five times
- Employee's department has a manager filled in
- Employee's department's manager position has an incumbent
- Repeat #5 and #6 up to five times
Note that the Derived First Manager Field on IEAS does not retrieve data when the employee is terminated.
