To avoid an automatic approval of such not yet allocated requests, a Default Approver can be specified for each step. Then, if nobody is defined as an Approver based on the approval matrix, the request will be assigned to the Default Approver.

Please note: the option Default Approver is only available if there are no Approvers with the rule “Always approves”.
