2 level approval workflow using spd 2010

Hi,
I have to create 3 level approval workflow using sPD 2010,
1) User raises request --> Email goes to approver1 & Task assigned to approver1 --> If approver1 approves Task should be assigned to approver 2--> If approver2 approves--> Task should be assigned to approver3 & Email Notification-->
If approver3 approves workflow should complete & email goes to request initiator.
Could you please let me know the exact steps

Hi ppatil,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a workflow to assign tasks to different levels people in SharePoint 2010 Designer.
To achieve it, I suggest you use the built-in approval workflow 2010 template.
You can do as the followings:
Open the library
Click Library-> Settings->Workflow Settings->Add a workflow
Select the ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’ template, and type a name for this workflow
Select the start options, and click Next
For the Approvers, type your approvers as the order approver1, approvaer2, approver3, and the Order is ‘One at a time(serial)’
Select ‘End on First Rejection’
Click Save
Then if you start the workflow, it can be workflow as your description.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Customize SP2010 OOTB approval workflow using SP designer

Hi,
Even though it has been long time i raised the following question:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1efa6726-5790-4930-9520-4ef6398c503c/customize-ootb-approval-workflow-using-spd-2010?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
but i never created the workflow using the proposed solution until now. After doing some testing i can verify the proposed solution doesn't work for the following reason:
1.If i use 'user who created current item' and at the time of submitting the workflow add a different user email address in the 'Approver' field. It doesn't assign task to the user who has been manually added into approver field. It would still assign the
task to the user who created the current item which is incorrect.
2.If i use 'user who created current item' and a user who created the page has moved from his/her role, when submitting the workflow manually, the system will assign the task to the user who created the original item not the one who has just modified the
item
Ideally we would like to add the 'Approver' when submitting the workflow manually. Is there any other way of doing this? or i have tried the following:
Copy default approval workflow -> Edit Workflow -> Initiation Form Parameters -> Modify Approvers -> Change 'Collect from parameter during:' to Initiation (starting the workflow) -> Next -> Finish -> OK -> Save -> Publish
This lets you add the approver and would assign the task to the correct user. Is this a correct approach?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kash

By collecting the values during initiation, you would be able to make it work correctly. The only down side to this approach is that there are no default values, but that's a small price to pay for a working process.
If you tested this and it works correctly, I would say that you have a good solution without having to dive too deep into custom code.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Cancelling a Approval Task using Designer 2010

I created an Approval Workflow using Designer 2010. The workflow sends out notifications emails to approvers. But what if I want to cancel the approval task after the email has been sent out. I mean I don't want user to be able to approve the List Item.
Is there something I can change in the Designer 2010 code to make that happen. Thanks so much!
Regards,
mayank

Hi Kapil,
Thanks so much for your response. I have a document library and it has a column called CE Status.
When a task is assigned, the CE Status becomes "Media Relations in Progress" for instance. That is one of the stages. There is a group called Media Relations that will receive an email to approve. Once approved, the logic in my code changes the
CE Status. It goes to next stage and sends out an notification email to the next group.
I want to create a separate workflow that will cancel any pending task. So some selected user should be able to cancel the task. In that event, the assignee (Media Relations for instance) should not be able to approve the document via the email they originally
received.

Need to change the sender of the workflow email using SPD 2010

Hi,
I got a requirement. I've created a SharePoint Designer 2010 workflow which will trigger an email. The sender of that email is default. I need to change the sender of email to some user's email address like [email protected]
Can this be possible using SPD 2010. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Kunal

not out-of-the-box.
you would need to find a third party add-on to send the email. The SPDActivities codeplex project includes some email options that include specifying a sender, but focus on attachments... not sure what would happen if there was no attachment.

SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

I am unable to do SharePoint Designer workflow for approval process and I didnt get any Approval process in Actions in SharePoint designer Workflow also I don't find workflow features in Site collection features SharePoint 2013.
Even I am not able to do simple Out of the box Approval Workflow.
Kindly help me with this

Unfortunately, Out of the box workflows are not available in SharePoint foundation 2013, you need at least the standard version of SharePoint 2013.
You can still create .Net Workflows using the 2010 plateform.
Take a look at this great comparative between the three versions of SharePoint 2013 :

Multiple Levels of Approval Workflow in SPD

Hi-
I'm building a workflow that has multiple levels of approval behind it. I know how to set up the multiple levels of approval, but sometimes this workflow needs to have 2 approvals and sometimes it needs to have 3 approvals. I'm hoping to pull
the info in from a SP List, but am not sure to do with the different number of approvals needed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Yes you can create a column in SP List containing the Approver names. This should be a People/Group field or Single line of text can also work.
In your SPD workflow you can track the status of the previous Approver and based on this you may allow the workflow to move to next or stop it. Assuming that you will create a Status column having two values - "Approve" and "Reject".
If Approver selects "Approve" then workflow proceeds for next approval or else the workflow stops or if Approver chooses "Reject" then you may create a new task for the previous Approver and send him an email - Just a suggestion if you
have back and forth approval system.
If it is a simple sequential approval then can go for out-of-the-box Approval Workflow available. If there is some level of conditions then SPD workflow is an option.

Invoice Parking - 2 Level Approval Workflow not working

Hi,
I am having trouble making the two level approval work for invoice parking functionality. I have maintained Release Level = 2 and Sub w/f = WS10000053.
Rest I have configured as detailed in this link http://www.thesapconsultant.com/2008/09/simple-sap-workflow.html
When i test the above workflow from SWDD it is working fine. i.e., first one user gets the workitem and after he approves/rejects, it is going to second user. This proved that the user assignment i have maintained is correct.
But when I park the invoice (using "Save As Completed" button) using FV60, it only going to one user. After he/she approves/rejects it is not going anywhere. I checked in SWI1 transaction where no open tasks (error or hanged etc) are seen.
Can anyone please advise if i am missing anything?

Steps required for second level approval Workflow

Hi,
Can any one explain me step by step procedure of how to configure 2 level approval process in SRM.I have activated the second level approval for SC.But after this what i have to do. Where can i set the value conditions in workflow?How system will decide for one level approval it has to go for a person "Y" and for 2nd level approval it has to go to Manager?
kindly help me out in this
regards
subbramanyam

I think you have to activate the below workflows in the system which automatically identifies the number of levels that it should cross.
WS14000133
WS10000049
WS14000134 ---> This Sub workflow determines, is there any next approver or not?.

Two level Approval WorkFlow

Hi.
I have this problem:
Have two Approval WF which a re triggered deppending on the user type
The first WF is a one level approval WF, and work Very fine,
i'ts assigned to a group using an adaptor and when it's approved, the provisioning process is assigned to SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS and executed success.
The second WF is a two level (secuential) WF, also is assigned to a group using an adapter and when first level is approved, the Second level task is executed (also assigned to a group via adapter), but when the second level task is approved, the provisioning task is assigned to the same user which approved the second level and the provisioning process involves add/delete values from a lookup, then I receive an "ACCESS DENIED" error.
I've been thinking about adding a third level and assign it to XELSYSADM, but think that is not a pretty standard solution.
a way to draw the second WF is:
task 1 Response = Approved then execute Task 2
Am I missing something?
Should I use Task Dependency instead Executing the second task basen on the first Task Response ?
Thank You.

That's correct.
The first approval level appears to be finished by XELSYSADM even if its approved by another person (ie: User1)
The second approval level appears to be finished by "User1", but User1 can be one of aproximately 50 people, and do not want to give object write access to so many.
So opted for add a third level of approval and add a TCCompleteTask and assign it to XELSYSADM.
So XELSYSADM now executes all the Provisioning process .
Thank You Very Much.

Approval Workflow Tasks in 2010

It seems that in 2010 the only individual who can approve a task assigned to them from an Approval workflow is the person it is assigned to; prior to this, the individual who started the workflow and site administrators could also approve anothers task.
Has this ability been locked down in 2010?

You can add the group to an Owners section of the workflow so you can delegate the tasks without the help of the site collection administrator/Farm admin.

Create a one level approval workflow for a document in the document library

hi,
Can anyone pls provide me how to create a workflow in SP 2013.
I am having the scenario
Document uploaded into the document library. it will trigger the workflow and it will reach the approver's inbox and if the approver approves the document, i need to do peform few tasks on the dcoument and document
library in which it resides.
So, would like to know whether this is possible without using the new features in SP 2013. like Workflow Manager , etc.
Heard that, workflow manager is a new software installable and need to go through separate learning curve.

but i am having custom columns which are taxonomy columns, single line of text, choice field, people picker field etc.
how can i show these metadat columns in a approver form using the OOB workflows, does sharepint provides us to display the form whcih will be used by the approver and once approved the document will be moved into a new doc lib
and if rejected it will be deleted from the current doc lib.
also a email would be sent to requestor who uploads the document.
I think these customizations were not available in the OOTB workflows.
pls let me know any other approaches!
help is appreciated!

4 level Approval workflow

Hi Experts,
I am working on a scenario where in a junior account manager creates a quotation and then changes the status to waiting for approval.On this a mail is to be triggered to the Account manager for approval.If the account manager approves this then the process ends..If he cannot approve it then he adds the nam of Senior Account manager in another approve by partner function and saves the tracsaction.On this a second mail is to be triggered to the senior account manager.If he cannot approve it then he adds the name of the General account manager in the partnerf function approve by and this would trigger the third and final mail.
I am able to achieve the first level of approval.This I am doing by triggering a workflow on the status change to waiting for approval and in the workflow I have a method which detrmines the approve by partner.First i am querying the CRMD_ORDERADM_H table with the quotations transaction for the guid.With this guid I am querying the CRM_ORDER_INDEX table for the field wiht PFT_0 = 'X'
which gives me the approve by partner.
I am unable to achieve the scenario for the second and third levels of approval.
Can any one please give me some direction as to how to achieve this ....
I am stuck with this problem and need help urgently...Any response would be sicerely appreciated,
Thanks and Regards,,
Narsingh
Hi everyone..is there any suggestions as to how to achieve this...

Hi,
I think the waiting for approval status which standard SAP Provided.Try creating more two status events.When 1st line of approver changes partner and save for 2nd of Approval , see there would a exit before save.You could trigger the workflow that point or trigger the event of status which inturn triggers the workflow.The same procedure you could follow for 3rd line.
I think this option would be better.
If this was something useful award me points.
