Oracle HCM Cloud uses human workflow automation to route approval tasks through a predefined sequence. It controls workflows for processes like hiring and promotions. Users can define simple or complex task routing policies. The system is integrated with HCM to determine approvers based on factors like supervision hierarchy, responsibilities, and job level. Workflows allow humans to interact with processes, such as approving purchases. They provide full task lifecycle management including rerouting, escalating, and setting deadlines. An example transfer workflow is configured to require approval from a user if the employee's current salary is over $9,000 and in the sales department. Workflows integrate with personnel records to update status.

- 1. Oracle HCM Cloud Configuring Approval Workflow Oracle HCM Cloud Approval management is based on human workflow to automate tasks from one user or an application to another user for actions. Fusion HCM Workflows are routed in a predefined sequence to achieve an end result based on the initial configuration of the human workflow. broadly approval management falls under 3 points: 1-Controls workflows for business processes such as hiring an employee or managing promotions. 2-Enables you to define task routing policies that can be as simple or as complex as needed. 3-it is fully integrated with HCM to derive approvers based on the supervisory hierarchy, areas of responsibility (such as HR or Benefit Representatives) and other criteria, such as job levels. Human Workflow: Human Workflow is the component of Oracle’s SOA suite that allows humans to interact with a process. For example a manager might need to approve a purchase order or an expense report prior to the transaction (issuing a purchase order or reimbursement of expenses) being completed or perhaps to reassign a task they are un able to complete. In addition to allowing users of an application to interact with its processes, the capabilities of the Human Workflow include full task lifecycle management through the ability to reroute tasks, escalate them, and providing deadlines by which they must be completed, in addition to the presentation of tasks to the concerned user through the BPM Worklist application or other channels such as email.
