ESS-MSS Custom Approval Level

Question

Hi Guru,
We received requirement to add another level of approval between ESS and MSS (i.e. supervisor) in Portal.
Instead of going straight to MSS for approval (standard workflow), the customer want the 'Supervisor' to endorse the application first before the it goes to MSS for approval.
As for your info, we're implementing structural authorization and I plan to modify the standard authorization function module i.e. RH_GET_MANAGER_ASSIGNMENT to cater for this requirement.
Appreciate your advice if this approach; is this ok or is there any better way to do it.
Regards

Thanks Sidarth,
I understand that standard Authorization function module i.e. RH_GET_ORG_ASSIGNMENT can be used to restrict the Supervisor access to his own organization unit. However, there is possibility whereby this Supervisor might need to endorse
application send by employee that not belongs to his organization unit - sorry for not clariy this earlier.
Thus, for this specific case we're depending on S-S position which is A002. I'm not sure whether customizing function module is the best resolution. Appreciate advice from the experts before proceed with the function module modification.
Thanks alot
