Multi Approval Leave Request

[former_member212277]

Experts,

                    I need to create workflow with multiple approvers for the leave request. I have copied standard workflow(12300111) , I have doubts about Where I have to add status changing methods and how to determine next approver in that workflow. Please explain it graphically and give codes for determining next approver if possible.

Thanks,

Hi Sathish

Do you want MULTIPLE Approvers for a single level approval step of the Leave request WF?

OR do you want MULTI-LEVEL Approval Process for you Leave request.

From the description you have given, it seems you need a Multi-Level Approval WF for Leave Request ......if that is the case, following link has all you need:

Hi Sathish

Here I am pasting some extracts from a similar development I did a few years ago.

This will give you some idea. These pictures will have to be downloaded and then magnified to get the details.

In the WF diagram - the steps marked with a star are custom steps and rest is a copy from standard WF.

Here is the Flow Diagram (ignore my custom Development Objects)

Hi Sathish

I would love to spoon feed (as If I have not already done above!!).... however, if you really want to "learn" ... please go ahead and try stuff yourself..... This is a humble request from my end!

To get the next approver, you actually need to see how it is defined in your organization and then code a method accordingly. Place the call in your workflow where I have placed in the above WF screen shot!

To set the manager in the WD framework - the code is already given in the link!!
