Reassign AP Invoice Approvals After Approver Termination

Summary:

We have a business requirement to reassign AP Invoice approvals once the approver is terminated. We tried to use "Run Reassign Pending Approvals for Terminations and Correct Invalid Supervisor Assignments Process" ESS job to automatically reassign the terminated employee's approvals to his line manager, but it did not work. On the log file we saw this line:

"ReAssign Notifications Task impacted records: 5

Skip : Cannot reassign actionable notifications of person (Person Number=<>) as manager doesn't exists"

Can someone please help out and confirm if there is any intermediate step that needs to be performed for the job to automatically reassign the pending approvals or if manual reassignment is the only solution. Thanks!
