Two levels of approval

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a client that needs 2 levels of approval for travel expenses (request for travel- TRIP and travel expenses- specification of travel expenses- PR05). In order to do that we need to expand table in travel request and PTRV_HEAD (TRIP) seems like a good table because it is included in structure PTP02 (for travel expenses PR05). We need to expand table in order to get a drop down menu od approvers (level 1 and lever 2). Do you have have experience with expanding another table?

They are on version 4.7.

Do you have any other suggestions or ideas?

Thank you

Dubravka

Hello,

I am not sure about the drop down list of the approvers however if you want that approval request to be send to two approvers as soon as user submit the trip, it can be achievable by workflow.

There is another case where trip should be approved by first approver and then it should go to second approver for further approval, this scenario is also achievable by doing changes in workflow.

Hope this help!

Thanks,

Hi,

yes, but TV has 1 level of approval, not 2. So you don't have 2 statuses of approvals but 1.

Hi,

In the Standard Work flow it would always go to 1 Level of approval. If you want to 2 level of approver, then you need to have a customised workflow and you need to define it to whom it should go for approval.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

yes, we will use standard TV workflow but it will be modified. That is why it is needed to expand tables.
