Remove approval step at the time of ordering

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have some carzy requirement. we have implemented PCW for SC ( item based partial approval type). In some scenarios there is a possbility that apporvers might repeat for certain steps. for example

level1 - user1

leve2 user2

level 3 user 1

level4 user 4

in this case what I want is, I want to remove level 1.  How do I do this?

thanks

Hi Sankara,

I am not sure if at WF level we can skip this by some standard approach, but you can achieve this by custom logic as below:

check at runtime during Approver identification that if a particular approver is repeating, skip the current level or let it be approved by default/system.

hi Shyam,

The problem is I need to remove level 1 not level 3. So the question is how do I avoid an already determined level ?

Hi Sankara,

We can achieve this by evaluating level-1 & level-3 together(at evaluation of level-1) and check if approvers are same, then skip level-1.

do not pass info about level-3 to the system at this stage.

Again, that may not be the best possible solution, just trying to suggest approach based on logic.

hi Shyam,

I have just given 4 level example. In reality we have more than 15 levels. I don't know where the duplicates will come. So in your sugested approach, at each level  I have evaluate all the below levels. I think it is not good approach. Is there any class  that I can use to remove it based on level guid?
