How to prevent incorrect approval of a trip

[Former Member]

Hi

We have the situation where 2 approvers approve a trip in a workflow. If approver 2 forwards his WI to a person who is really approver 1, approver 1 can approve 2nd time as well. I suspect the problem is that they have the same authorization for trip. Could anyone tell med if there is a status or something for trip that decides that a person is allowed to do first approval but not second approval?

Any hints appreciated

We solved this with some extra programming.

Hi Kirsten,

Obviously when dual approval system takes place the both approvals should have the same authorization profiles, why because if one approval is not available(on leave) then second approval can approve the work item. Infect that is purpose to make dual approval system. But your case it is diffrent because your business process is to approve the same WI by two approvals if this is the case i think you need to keep some authorization check to not to allow the any approval to approve twice for the same work item. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

I think it might help,

Thanks,

Dora.
