Can Approval and Submission of Worksheet be designated from particular position

We have a requirement from Business, and this is related to Compensation where a Line Manager submits their worksheet, which is then reviewed and approved by the Higher Manager or Department Head. After this, it moves to the VP for final review and approval.

We would like to understand if there are any options available for submission and approval workflows beyond the standard "Submit and Approve" mode.

Additionally, the business is looking for flexibility in enforcing approvals. For example, Line Managers should have the ability to submit and approve, but it should not be mandatory for them to complete the full approval cycle. In contrast, higher-level roles such as VPs should be required to review, approve, and submit their worksheets.
