Authorization roles for Release Codes

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein the release codes for the PO release strategy are about 100. The roles are repeating itself i.e. Buyer, Manager, Director etc for different countries and other attributes. Is there any way by which we can reduce the authorisation roles.

If you have implemented the Work flow than you don't need the repeated code for manager or buyer etc.
you can just define the oce code for each position and use them in release strategy and based onthe workflow with combination of HR org structure you can send them to appopriate manager
e.g. you have 10 manager and each manage has 10 buyer
so you create one manager relese code e.g. MG and one Buyer code BY
now you have create many release strategy where you enter the MG code and BY code but you want send the PO for approval based ont he buyer
so you have to set up the HR ord sturcture in the tcode PPOCE and create teh tree for the buyer code and manager relation ship
now when you create the release strategy you will enter the purchase group in the release strategy which is assigned to the buyer code and based on the HR org structue it will find the appropriate manager whitout defining many manager code and buyer code.
or if you don't have the workflwo than you have to create diff buyer code and manager code.
