If Person to Person Only is set up for the reporting line for your organisation, the manager is entered in the Reporting Override tab available in career history. This can be checked in the Configuration Options within the Admin tool.

Firstly, ensure that the correct manager is added in the Reporting Override tab against the employee in question.
​
If this is set up correctly, then the issue might be caused by the following.

  1. Incorrect filter set up on the role assigned to the menu set the manager is using;

  2. Incorrect role filter applied to the menu set on the user account, or on the process itself.
