How to skip RITM approval if Manager is the Requested By

[Joe Weisiger]

Hello,

I have a catalog item where I have created a reference variable called "Requested by".  If this field is the same user that the approval is going to I want the approval skipped.  

How do I accomplish this?

Thank you in advance!

Joe

Hi Pranesh,  Here is the activity

You can add the if activity before the approval activity and check the conditions for the approval by using the script.

Do you know who is approving? Is it the Requested for.Manager, or someone else?

Sometimes it will be Requested for.Manager.  We also have a field where we add customer approvers that is used for some items.

You can use If activity with script just before your actual approval and return yes or no

if activity script

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript(){

// your logic to determine the approver here

var approver = 'your value';

if(current.request.requested_for == approver)

return 'no'; // output of this goes to next activity by skipping approval

else

return 'yes'; // output of this goes to approval activity

}
