Steps
1
Open the award's approval workflow
Edit the award and go to its multi-level approval configuration.
2
Choose the budget deduction level
Configure at which approval level the budget is deducted — set it to L1 or L2 to give those managers real budget ownership instead of only final-approval deduction.
3
Confirm the wallet
The points are deducted from the originating wallet at the level you set, within that manager’s wallet limits.
4
Rely on auto-revert
If a nomination is declined after budget deduction, points automatically return to the originating wallet — no manual reconciliation needed.
