Hi,
I have many years of experience as a salesforce.com system administrator.

If one of my requests is for a threshold dollar amount it needs to be seen by an upper manager. However, the manager is not needed to "Approve" the request. The manager is only needed to "acknowledge" that he has seen it. Since the manager is not always available he does not want his interaction to be required and would like the approval process to continue without him. 

What would be the best way to handle this ? I'm thinking of different scenarios which would require different levels of approval and what not, but I think I may be overlooking an easier solution. 

Any help would be appreciated.

I just upgraded to v 36 and now when I try to deploy to server, I get 'Destination organization must be different from the Project organization.' when I am entering my credentials

Hopefully this is just a setting I can switch somewhere and I don't have to go back to an older version.
