Determining Approver from Organisational Structure

Question

Hi all,
I am new to Workflow, Can anyone please let me know how Approver can be determined from Organisational Structure.
1) For determining Approvers i have position data available with me.
2) Also please let me know all possible scenarios of determining the Approvers from Organisational Structure.
Please provide me any Documents or tutorials available for the same, if possible.

Answer 1

There are many ways to determine the agents.
Rule : It can be used via Function module(by abap coding & need to be suffixed with US for User & respectively) or Responsibilities created at Rule level or directly using Organization and there are many other options provided at that level.
Organization: To assign the whole Organization and it is mostly high level & workitem will be sent to all the users assigned to that Organization.
Position: To assign the Position directly assigned & workitem will be sent to all the users holding that position.
Coming about your question:
1) For determining Approvers i have position data available with me.
You can either assign it at User Decision level directly or if you want to do any validations, you can even do it in Custom method or Function module through RH_GET_STRUCTURE where you need to pass Position & retrieve Users.
