Hi All,

Greetings!

This scenario is related to the approval rule.

The rule includes multiple steps

e.g.

Step 2

If there is a common condition in multiple steps with differential representative type -

e.g. Below mentioned check of if Plan =Overtime then use "Representative" - This one exists with the same setup in multiple steps woeh

Then, how does the system decide which step rule should be applied , as the representative type and other values from that will actually get applied for the transaction?
