HEIRARCHY
Based on the Item Category

[Type the company address]
2. How to Make the Hierarchy of Requisition / PO based on
the Category Type
Let say we have classified the item based on the category i-e the items such as; Pencil, Rubber, Pen etc
comes under the Stationary Category & the items such as; Desktop , Computer etc comes under the IT
Equipment Category etc
Now let say there are no. of In charge’s for each item category those will give their corresponding
Approval for the Requisition / PO , therefore the Requirement from the client is that final Approval of
Requisition / PO should given by the concerned authority of each Item Category (i-e Incharge ) though
the initiater of the Requisition can be any one but the Final Approval must be from the respective
concerned Incharge.
Therefore I have designed the hierarchy of Requisition in the following manner
This can be done in the following steps as follows
3. 1- Setups to Design the Heirarchy
Do the setups and makes the new hierarchy named as Younus_Heirarchy_Requisition which entailed the
line of action from bottom to top as shown in the above figure
Note: In the hierarchy I have design the each position by following the above figure
The above figure entailed from users to the Abid Shab
The above figure entailed from Abid Altaf to Dr. Masroor Shaikh
4. The above figure entailed From Dr. Masroor Ahmed Shaikh to Muneer Ahmed Shaikh
The above entailed the hierarchy from Muneer Ahmed Shaikh to Hafeezullah Abbasi
2- Setups for Approval Group
In order to overcome this provisoin we are required to makes the five different Approval Groups as
i- Data Entry Approval (for Users)
ii- Dir Approval 1 (For Abid Shab)
iii- Dir Approval 2 (for Dr. Masroor Ahmed Shaikh )
iv- Dir Approval 3 (for Muneer Ahmed Shaikh )
APPROVAL GROUP : DATA ENTER APPROVAL
5. APPROVAL GROUP : DIR APPROVAL 1 (for ABID SHAB)
Hence the above figure entailed the whole story in this manner we have selected the Item Category as
an object and we have select the Type as an Exclude to all the categories whose final Approval is not
Abid Shab so the notification will to concerned Incharges.
This figure also entailed the three fo them has been selected as Type Include which are COMPUTER
STATIONARY, JANITORY & STATIONARY and if item belongs to this category the Requisition just required
the Approval of Abid Shab and If Abid Shab Approved it get Approved.
6. APPROVAL GROUP : DIR APPROVAL 2 (for DR. MASROOR AHMED SHAIKH )
Hence the above figure entailed the whole story in this manner we have selected the Item Category as
an object and we have select the Type as an Exclude to all the categories whose final Approval is not Dr
Masroor so the notification will to concerned Incharges.
This figure also entailed the three fo them has been selected as Type Include which are ELECTRICAL, IT
EQUIPMENTS & FURNITURE and if item belongs to this category the Requisition does not approve when
Abid Shab Click Approved Button inspite the notification goes to the Dr. Masroor and hence it describe
he is the Incharge who is the final Approver.
APPROVAL GROUP : DIR APPROVAL 3 (for Muneer Ahmed Shaikh )
7. Hence the above figure entailed the whole story in this manner we have selected the Item Category as
an object and we have select the Type as an Exclude to all the categories whose final Approval is not Dr
Masroor so the notification will to concerned Incharges.
This figure also entailed the three fo them has been selected as Type Include which are FIXTURE &
FITTING, PLANT MACHINARY AND VEHICLES and if item belongs to this category the Requisition does not
approve from start when Abid Shab & Dr Masroor Click Approved Button (because he just work as as
initiater ) inspite the notification goes to the Muneer Ahmed Shaikh and hence it describe he is the
Incharge who is the final Approver.
APPROVAL GROUP : DIR APPROVAL 4 (for Hafeezullah Abbasi )
Hence the above figure entailed the whole story in this manner we have selected the Item Category as
an object and we have select the Type as an Exclude to all the categories whose final Approval is not Dr
Masroor so the notification will to concerned Incharges.
This figure also entailed the three fo them has been selected as Type Include which are POL, STORES &
SPARES, AND GENRAL TOOLS and if item belongs to this category the Requisition does not approve from
start when Abid Shab & Dr Masroor Click Approved Button (because he just work as as initiater ) inspite
the notification goes to the Hafeezullah Abbasi and hence it describe he is the Incharge who is the final
Approver.
8. 3- Assign Position to Approval Groups
i) The user can be assign to the Approval Group (Data Enter Approval )
Therefore the position of User Ana Ikram is = KA5766.SP14002.ASSISTANT DP.PROCUREMENT.SPS-14
And we need to assign this position to the Approval Group (Data Entry Approval ) as; follows
Hence it describe the User has been assign the Data Entry Group for Purhcase Requisition Document.
ii) Abid Shab has can be assign the Approval Group (Dir Approval 1)
Postion of Abid Altaf = KA5766.SP19001.DIRECTOR.MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.SPS-19
Hence it describe the Abid Shab has been assign the Dir Approval Group for Purhcase Requisition
Document.
iii) Dr. Masroor can be Assign the Approval Group (Dir Approval 2)
Position of Dr. Masroor = KA5766.SP19001.DIRECTOR.ACADEMICS & TRAININGS.SPS-19
9. Hence it describe the Dr. Masroor Ahmed has been assign the Dir Approval 2 Group for Purhcase
Requisition Document.
iv) Muneer Shaikh can be Assign the Approval Group (Dir Approval 3)
Position of Muneer Shaikh = KA5766.SP19001.DIRECTOR.ADMINISTRATION.SPS-19/20
Hence it describe the Muneer Shaikh has been assign the Dir Approval 3 Group for Purhcase Requisition
Document.
10. v) Hafeezullah Abbasi can be Assign the Approval Group (Dir Approval 4)
Position of Hafeezulah Abbasi = KA5766.SP19001.DIRECTOR.MANAGING DIRECTOR.SPS-19
Hence it describe the Hafeezulah Abbasi has been assign the Dir Approval 4 Group for Purhcase
Requisition Document.
