How to get mandatory approvals from two people in a workflow and until the two of them approve, it should be 'Requested' and once both of them approve then only it should be 'No longer required'.

Hi Guys,

Let me know how to get mandatory approvals from two people in a workflow and until the two of them approve, it should be 'Requested' and once both of them approve then only it should be 'No longer required'. If the first person has approved, still it should be in Requested state until one more person approves and then no longer required.

How do I achieve this from a workflow ?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you are using   group with these 2 approvers you need to set Condition for approval in a workflow as follows

If you are using 2 separate approvers, you can create 2 Approval user activities back to back.

Hi Raj,

Suppose there are 8 approvers in any group for which approval is required and any two of them need to approve and once any two approves for everyone else in that list it should be 'No longer required'.

So if I put 'everyone to approve' in the workflow condition, won't that wait for all the 8 people to approve ? I can't put back to back approvals as those two people could be anyone from the list.

Thanks,
