Go Up Management Chain: The journal batch moves up the approval hierarchy until it has  been 
approved  by  an  approver  whose  authorization  limit  is  sufficient  to  allow approval. The journal batch
must be approved by all intermediate approvers as well.

Go  Direct: The  journal  batch  is  sent  directly  to  the  first  approver  in  the  approval hierarchy  who 
has  an  authorization  limit  high  enough  to  allow  approval.  The  preparer's direct manager receives a
courtesy notice.

One Stop Then Go Direct: The journal batch is first sent to the preparer's manager for approval.  If 
further  approvals  are  required, the  journal  batch  is  sent  directly  to  the  first approver  in  the 
approval  hierarchy  who  has  an  authorization  limit  high  enough  to  allow approval.

Profile Option - Journals: Allow Preparer Approval  And Value - No
