Bypassing Invoice approval levels in VIM (Vendor invoice management)

Hi experts,

I have requirement to bypass some invoices approval level table, currently after the one approval system determines the next approval based on the COA table in VIM and now due to some confidentiality of invoices, approval needs to be escalated from Level-1 approver to directly level 5 approver thus skipping level 2,3, and 4.

We have tried with Reassignment (/ORD/UNREASSINED – Reassignment utility) – Invoice was at L1 – Approver and instead of approving L1, the L1 approver reassigned (thru /ORD/UNREASSINED) invoice to L-5 Approver. When L5 approved it and then it routed down the ladder to L3, L4 and L5.

Could you please how I can resolve this?

Thanks
