Assigning an Escalation Manager to an AccountManager Screen
Admin users can select the escalated manager for a manager after selecting the manager for the account. The default time window is 30 minutes. If the manager does not take any action within that time, the request is moved along to the escalated managers. The amount of time after which the request is routed to the escalated manager can be changed in the configurations.
For managers in the Escalated group, the sapm.escalated.approval.request.timeout parameter will be set as the approval time. A new parameter will be defined and cannot be greater than what is defined in sapm.approval.request.timeout.
sapm.escalated.approval.request.timeout < sapm.approval.request.timeout.
sapm.approval.request.timeout: Approval time for managers at each level.
sapm.escalated.approval.request.timeout: Approval time of Escalated group at each level.
