Assignment Costing along with New Hire

Hi,

Is it possible to have a single flow of New Hire along with Assignment Costing in Manager Self Service.

I understand the Hire function has a different workflow item type and Assignment Costing a different workflow type.

We would like the managers to enter the costing information along with the new hire information as otherwise, managers will have to do transactions and also the approval process will be invoked twice leading to twice the time required to have a complete employee information.

How do other organizations, handle this kind of situation?

Regards,
