Assign approver in standard PCR.

Question

Hello,
Our "Request to transfer" PCR is working fine hoever a step seems to be missing.
1. Manager is able to request PCR for his employee.
2. HR administrator is able to get the same in notifications and is able to approve and close the same. Request data is updated successfully.
We are using worklflow template WS50000041.
According to above template :
This template depicts a one-step approval process. When you send the request, it goes to an approver for approval, before it goes to the administrator.
But in our case it is nowhere goiing to any approver.
Below setting we have done:
Goto transaction QISRSCENARIO
Select our scenario i.e. SPPM - Request Promotion
Workflow maintained in field 'Create Notification'  - WS50000041
workflow maintained in field 'Notification in Process'  - NOWORKFLOW
Goto transaction SWETYPV and select entry for business object BUS7051 event CREATED
Maintain check function "QGN01_EVENT_NOTIF_CREATED_ISR" for CREATED event
Goto transaction SIMG_SPORT -> MSS -> PCR -> Set up workflows for PCR
Assigned agents to workflow template for change request
WS50000041 -> PENR Number....
But still no approval step by manager is performed....

Hello Siddharth,
As I have read in help.sap.com about ProcessPCR_1(WS50000041) :
As approver, the example uses the rule *ApproverNext*, which gives the form to the manager who is superior to the request author in the organizational hierarchy.
So i feel this process should be standard.
And it should go automatically to manager 1 level above the requesting manager.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
As per above statement i fell we dont have to do ant explicit defining of any approver.
However in our case we only have one level of hierarchy.
So that might be reason that no manager is getting the same in their UWL as Task for approval.
Please comment on whether i am right or wrong.
