Parallel approval nest sequent approval for SC

[former_member581526]

Dear All

     Ｉ am using SRM7.02.

　 I can realize parallel approval for SC  as following.

     only after A1 and B1 approved. the process will end or enter next level.

   But , the customer gave me a new challege,  as the following.

  

The work item is sent to A1 and B1, after A1 approved , A2 would receive the work item.   after B1 approved, B2 would receive the work item.

Only  after both A2 and B2 approved.  the process end or enter next level.

any experts  can give me some suggestion?

thanks in advance

Jesse

Hi Jesse,

parallel approval works a little bit in another way.

First, the Step 1 must be completed, only then shopping cart goes to step 2.

Dear Konstantin

      Thanks your advice,  your way can be realized, but Ｉhave to discuss with the customers.

      It seems the scenario I wanted  is impossible to realize.

       Best regards

Hi Jesse,

Even our clients in my earlier project, asked for a similar workflow. But SRM workflow wont support that because there are few scenarios which makes things complex. For example, when we have a combination of type 1 and type 3 approvals in a single flow, a part of the document reaches type 1 approver and a part doesn't. And also if a cart items are distinguished into one set in approval level 1, and they can be in different sets in next level even if all approval levels are of type 3 or type 4.

Hi Jesse,

This is correct, in the standard SRM system all parallel steps of the same level have to be completed before the next level can be processed.

Kind regards,
