Approval rule for job requisition

while configuring approval rule for job requisition can we keep same application role at the starting and at the end of the approval chain, as while configuring this it is skipping the first route and directly routing for 2nd level of approval.

as I configured Workforce Manager-Reward advisor-Level2 Manager- Business Partner-FD Approver-Workforce Manager.

when submitting job requisition it is routing to Reward advisor and skipping Workforce manager, is this due to the configuration of role at the end as well in the approval chain.

please confirm.

Many thanks.

Thanks,

Aashi
