Oracle Approval Management Approver Groups Introduction

An Approver Group is an ordered set of one or more approvers or a list dynamically generated at rule evaluation time.

Factors

When to use an approver group:

• Pre- and Post-Approvals - these groups are subject matter experts which are outside normal management channels. Example is a legal approval for a transaction.
• Chain of Authority Approvals - these groups are approver types that lack a hierarchical structure or contain several approver types.

Approver Group Properties

Approver groups have the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Approver Group's Name - up to 50 characters; avoid creating a name tied to a specific transaction type or approver sub-list. Approver Group's Name should reflect the group's position or function in the organization.
Description	Approver Group's Description - the description is up to 100 bytes long; avoid creating a description tied to a specific transaction type or approver sub-list. Approver Group's description should reflect the group's position or function in the organization.
Order Number	Order Numbers determine how the Approver Groups in the same sub-list are ordered.
Voting Regime	A Voting Regime determines the order in which an Approver Group's members are notified, and how the Approver Group makes approval decisions. The following Voting Regime's are available: Serial Voting, Consensus Voting, First-Responder-Wins Voting, and Order-Number Voting
Active List	An Approver Group can have two membership lists with only one list active. The two lists are Static Membership List (static named list) and Dynamic Membership List (dynamic members listed by SQL query).
