How to Get Approval Group assigned to specific Job and Position in Oracle

Purchasing

During Support on one of my client site I was facing error For some of managers
system is not following Approval limits and bypassing the approval groups
Client ERP Coordinator was claiming that he setup approval group and Approval
assignment correctly but system is not following defined approval groups

There were around 35 Approval Groups and assigned to more than 100 Responsibilities
mean it was very hectic to query each and every position and see what limit is
assigned and for what .
Thanks Metalink where I found below queries to find approval groups and limits on
basis of user.
Parameters for the Queries
:MYORGID (Operating Unit Id)
:P_USER_Name (Name of User Defined in Application (Fnd_user)
:P_empoyee_id (Employee Id populated in fnd_user table)
:p_func_name (
You can select function name by using following query)
SELECT UNIQUE pcf.control_function_name
FROM po_control_functions pcf
)
