Workflow Approval Next Approver is same as current approver. Auto Approve

SOLVED

Hi,

For a PO Approval, Let say there are 5 Levels and user at level 2 and 3 is the same.

Is it possible to auto approve at level 3 otherwise the user will have to approve the PO twice.

The issue is there are a few thousand rules and one person leaves and the replacement has not been hired yet, so the same user is assigned to 2 level.

thanks
