How to restrict same person getting multiple approval notifs

Content

Hi All,

Hope you are well.

For transfer transaction, we have approvals based on management hierarchy and areas of responsibility.

The first level of approval goes to the manager (based on proposed manager's hierarchy), then to the director (associated with AOR against the busniess unit), then to the HRBP (associated with AOR against the busniess unit) and finally to a group (based on an application role).

If the director (based on the AOR) happens to be an approver based on the management hierarchy, the same person ends up getting two approvals (one as a manager and one as the director (AOR)). Is there an option to restrict this from happening so that the director gets the approval notif only once?
