Bypass manager approval for a specific expense type

We have a requirement to bypass the manager approval for a specific expense type. Currently, all expense types go through the manager for the first level of approval, followed by the auditor for the second level.

To meet this requirement, we planned to update the BPM worklist by excluding that particular expense type from the manager approval step. However, the changes we implemented are not working as expected.

Could anyone please suggest the correct approach or if we missed anything here.

Thank you in advance for your support.
