Parallel Approval steps in SAP Process Automation Workflow

[johnsonjos16]

We were trying to develop a prototype for one of our use cases and came across a scenario, where an approval request has to be sent to multiple department heads at the same time and all of them needs to approve the request in order to proceed further. We tried the branch option, but if we create a branch then we can't create an Approval form on the branch.

Can someone please advise on what should be the best possible approach in this scenario?

Regards

Johnson

Hello Jonhson,

Parallel branch for Approval Form is now available. You can achieve your use case. Just be mindful that each parallel split will have a parallel merge and until all the user tasks in the parallel branch are finished the workflow will not progress.

Hi Archana,

We already got an update from Peter that it was fixed with November release. We are able to have parallel approval steps now. Thank you.

If possible, can you please have a look at this question. We are not getting any help on below one.
