Hi all,

 

We have REQ > RITM > CTASK in Servicenow  , is it mandatory to have this hierarcy or we can have only REQ>RITM if the single team is working on the ticket.

 

If multiple team is involoved can we have one REQ and multiple Request item created ?

 

Does this can be based org requirement ?

Hi @PriyangaM 

 

Looks like there’s a small typo in your flow.

It should be:

REQ β†’ RITM β†’ SCTASK

 

Now, to answer your question:

A service request typically has three parts:

  • Request initiation (REQ β†’ RITM)
  • Approval
  • Fulfillment (SCTASK)

In some use cases, the business may not require an approval step. In those scenarios, the flow becomes:

REQ β†’ RITM β†’ SCTASK

This aligns with the basic ITIL process.

 

Refer : ITIL: The Service Request Management Process
