How to avoid using for each in flow designer ?

[kiran kumar m1]

I have a catalog in which , multiple users request a software or single user requests multiple softwares ,
in the flow i want a managers approval , if suppose three users were selected , then it should create three manager approvals , for which i did the lookup in sys_user table , there in the condition I have written a script 

"var uid=fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.requested_for2;

var query = "sys_idIN" + uid;

return query;"

this script will fetch the sys_ids from the list collector type variable , then I have written a for each which will take each sys_id and it will create  a approval record for it 

once this approvals are created , when each approval is approved I want a task should be created , 
but here as I am using for each , its picking a random sys_id / picking in ascending order ,
until and unless i approve the approvals in order the next task generation is not happening as expected is there any way I can overcome this

Hi @kiran kumar m1 

The issue is that For Each runs sequentially, so the flow waits for each approval in its iteration order. If approvals happen out of order, task creation is delayed.

Create all approvals first, then use a Flow or Business Rule on sysapproval_approver to create the task when each approval is approved. This allows tasks to be created regardless of the approval order.

@kiran kumar m1 

you want sequential approval or parallel approval?

You can use scripted flow approval

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar I want parallel approval

then use script and send approval to all users at once
