Certified Pega System Architect v8.8 — Question 3

A travel authorization requires approvals from the requestor's manager, division VP, and possibly an accountant based on the total amount.
Which configuration satisfies this use case?

Answer options

• A. Cascading approval using an authority matrix
• B. Cascading approval using the workgroup manager
• C. Cascading approval using when rules to identify the assigned user
• D. Cascading approval using the reporting manager

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, utilizes an authority matrix to define the required approvals based on the conditions presented. Options B, C, and D do not provide the necessary structure for multiple levels of approval that can vary with the total amount, thus failing to meet the use case's requirements.
