if the task contains 14 approval step

Keerthi Lakshmi · ‎12-28-2023

Hi!!

I am given with the task where I have to create approval step according to the variable is selected. It is roughly about 14 variables, for each variable selected then the RITM should be go for respective approval group. And if any group rejects then it won't affect the other, it should go and check for another condition. It should follow the order if the approval group approves then it should create a task and check next condition and if it rejects it won't cancel the request and it have to check another condition.

I just want to know it can be done by workflow and if it is possible, can you please give me an idea?

Hi Keerthi,

Yes it is possible to do in workflow, You would need to create several approvals and RITMs in parallel in order to not be affected by rejection of approvals which would be the case for serial connections. However, it most probably may get congested since there are a lot of elements to be included in the workflow. So make sure to double check before publishing the workflow.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi Keerthi,

If this flow goes on for 14 times, it is better to do in flow designer rather than workflow as it is a huge process to be carried out. You can repeat the actions in flow designer and make changes as required. The workflow canvas could fill up without you getting to complete it.

But my team suggested that it is complex to do using flow designer and go for workflow. Are you sure that it can be better to for flow?

You can do it in workflow and it is easier but the canvas may get filled if you do that flow 14 times. If your team suggests to do it in workflow, do try it. Workflow is easier as you can keep track better than flow designer. In flow designer you have the capability to repeat similar processes.

Hi ,

Do we to go for separate RITM for each option or is it possible with single RITM?

Hi,

It depends on the logic. I cant figure out the logic and if many RITMs are created for a single item, it doesnt make sense to create duplicate RITMs in the flow. Figure the logic and ask your seniors all the doubts.
