Manager Approval for a Change Request in Review State

Corey Harris

Good morning,

I want to add the assignment group's manager approval to change requests when they move to a Review state. The reason is that managers need to approve the change request again to ensure the assigned team member documented everything correctly before the change is closed.

I added a decision for Normal Changes that looks like this:

I also added the Change Approval Policy in the Normal Change Workflow:

Interestingly, an approval email is sent to the manager however, it is automatically cancelled:

Did I need to do something with flow designer as well or do I need to add a condition to the Change in Review Decision?

 

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated because I've been struggling with this for a couple of days!

 

Best regards,

Have you tried using Approval - User instead of Change Approval Policy? We found that we're able to use that successfully for our approval at the manager level.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for responding! I tried the Approval - User in the workflow and an approval was generated once the change moved to a Review state but for some reason it was automatically cancelled as before:

Hi Aaron, 

It was something that was automatically cancelling the approval once it moved to the Review state.

 

Thanks again!
