Same approver for both applications’ data in Oracle Time and Labor(OTL)

 
If the same approver, e.g., the Project Manager, should approve both your Payroll and Projects data, setting up both approval components with the ‘Project Manager’ approval mechanism would cause the approver to receive two notifications with identical data.
 
If your approvers would not wish to receive two notifications, an alternative setup can make use of the fact that each notification would display all of the timecard’s data. In this case, set up the approval style component for one of the applications with Project Manager as the approval mechanism and a low sequence number, and set up the approval style component for the other application with Auto Approve as the mechanism and a higher sequence number. Then the project managers’ notifications will display all of the timecard’s data, which they need to be able to determine if they should approve or reject the timecard.
 
Once they have acted on the notification, the auto-approval for the other application prevents their receiving a second notification with the same data.
