Org structure question

[Abby Dywan]

Hi all:
 
I am trying to determine the best way to manage an org structure.  For one
workflow - a service entry approval - I need to set up the org chart with
superiors in a determined manner.  Unfortunately, within the workflow, I
cannot specify a position as the agent - I can only specify Superior (role)
due to the fact that each different workflow initiator has a separate chain
of superiors (ie:  a storekeeper's approver should be a superintendent, a
data clerk's approver should be a storekeeper and THEN a superintendent,
etc.).  The problem comes when I also need to use the same org structure
for Purchase Requisition approvals.  These same initiators need to have
different superiors, but at the same time, I can only point to superiors,
and not to positions, as at each different work center / department the
chain of superiors is different.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this problem?
