Need Chief of Organization as Possible Agent

Question

Hi,
I have a workflow task that that is an approval step of a workflow that only managers should perform. In the agent determination for the workflow I have a rule that I can use to determine the correct responsible agent who needs to approve this step, but I want to make sure that if this work is forwarded to another person, that person is a manager. I would like to set the agent assignment for the task so that it can only be performed by a chief of an organization, but I can not seem to figure out how to do this. We have hundreds of Jobs that are manager jobs so I can't use job. Chief of an organization would be perfect, but how do I assign chief of an organization as an agent assignment for a task?
Thanks,
Gregg

Hi Gregg,
You may have to use a Rule (PFAC) for defining agents to the workflow step.
In the rule you have to write the following logic.
1) Find out PERNR from user ID from TCode PA20 (By giving U..userID in PERNR field)
2)Find User's Position
FORM FIND_POSITION USING    P_REQ_PERNR
                            P_REQ_POSITION.
SELECT      SOBID INTO P_REQ_POSITION FROM  HRP1001
       UP TO 1 ROWS
       WHERE  OTYPE  = C_person
       and objid     = p_req_pernr
       and    PLVAR  =  C_PLVAR
       AND    RSIGN  = C_B
       AND    RELAT  = C_A008
       AND    ISTAT  = C_1
       AND    BEGDA  <= SY-DATUM
       AND    ENDDA  >= SY-DATUM
       AND    SCLAS  = C_POSITION.
ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM. 
3)Find User's Org using Position determined in the above step
FORM FIND_REQ_ORG using P_REQ_POSITION
                        P_REQ_ORG.
SELECT SINGLE SOBID INTO P_REQ_ORG FROM  HRP1001
       WHERE  OTYPE  = 'S'
       AND    OBJID  = P_REQ_POSITION
       AND    PLVAR  = '01'
       AND    RSIGN  = 'A'
       AND    RELAT  = '003'
       AND    ISTAT  = '1'
       AND    BEGDA  <= SY-DATUM
       AND    ENDDA  >= SY-DATUM
       AND    INFTY  = '1001'
       AND    SUBTY  = 'A003'.
ENDFORM.  
4) Find chief of the Org Unit determined in the above step.
FORM FIND_CHIEFUSING p_req_org
                                p_req_chef.
SELECT SOBID INTO P_REQ_CHEF FROM  HRP1001
       WHERE  OTYPE  = 'O'
       AND    OBJID  = P_REQ_ORG
       AND    PLVAR  = '01'
       AND    RSIGN  = 'B'
       AND    RELAT  = '012'
       AND    ISTAT  = '1'
       AND    BEGDA  <= SY-DATUM
       AND    ENDDA  >= SY-DATUM
       AND    INFTY  = '1001'
       AND    SUBTY  = 'B012'
       AND    SCLAS  = 'S'.
ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM. 
5) Assign this Chief ID to the table ACTOR_TAB used in the Rule.
6)Finally make the standatd task used in the workflow step as General task.
Hope this helps. Clarifications are welcome.
