PeopleSoft Approval Framework-Line Level Approval

PeopleSoft has moved from the traditional workflow to the Approval Workflow Engine. Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) also known as Approval Framework is the framework providing capabilities to create, run and manage the approval processes within PeopleSoft. When the user submits a transaction, the application hands the transaction over to Approval Workflow Engine, which will determine the appropriate approval process definition and then launch the required routing based on the steps configured.
