Hi Ramesh,

From the standard oracle manuals this what security hierarchy means.

<b>Security hierarchies let you control who has access to certain
documents. For example, you can create a security hierarchy in which
only you and other buyers in that hierarchy can view each other?s
purchase orders.

Security hierarchies are not an alternative to approval hierarchies, but
something different altogether. Changes you make to a security
hierarchy do not affect the approval hierarchy and vice versa.

If you want to specify a Security Level of Hierarchy for any of your
document types, you must first define all positions which should have
access to the documents you want to restrict in this manner. (Even if
you are using jobs to route documents for approval, you must define
positions before you can enable this Security Level). You then define a
security position hierarchy, and specify it in the Purchasing Options
window.</b>

If you still have any doubt bounce it back to the forum so that it can be explained in more detail.
