Approval workflow with multiple approvers in sharepoint

Hi All,
I have created a sequential workflow using visual studio 2012 for sharepoint 2013.
I have multiple approvers for approving a document. I am able to create individual tasks for each approver by code
my problem here is tasks should be created based upon the hierarchy, i.e. the second task will be created only when first task is approved.
All my approvers are dynamic so I did this development in visual studio. Please give me some idea how to proceed for my problem.

  • Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

    Hi,
    is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
    i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
    DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    rubio

    Hi Rubio,
    I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.

  • How to create publishing custom approval workflow will assign approvers.

    Hi All,
    I am new in sharepoint development.
    I have a page library where we add artical page with different department
    I want to create publishing custom approval workflow will assign approvers based on what department is selected for display.  The departments pull from the Other list.  On that list each department is assigned an approval group. That approval
    group is what should be used for approving the item.
    need send to mail with based on selected department approval group
    thanks in advance.

    Ok, what you're asking for is something that people do all the time, but you say you are new to sharepoint development... So...
    Here's how you would do it in SPD:
    http://blog.symprogress.com/2011/03/sharepoint-2010-dynamic-approvers-for-oob-approval-workflow/
    and here's how you can do it in visual studio:
    http://www.mpspartners.com/2011/10/SharePoint2010ApprovalWorkflowDynamicApprovers/
    Either way should work, it just depends on your comfort level inside the dev environment.

  • Infopath Approval With Multiple Approvers

    I am interested in having multiple people approve forms.  The user will select the approvers using a people picker (tied to our active directory.)  I would like to know if it is possible to have the form be approved my multiple people at the same
    time, instead of a daisy chain. 
    There will be a maximum of 5 approvers, but may only have 1. 
    Can someone get me pointed in the right direction please.

    Hi alex,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to make multiple people to approve a form at the same time, and the number of the approvers is dynamic.
    You can create a column based People&Group type, and on the Additional Column Settings section, set "Choose from: All users".
    Then create a workflow with SharePoint Deisgner 2013, and the workflow is using SharePoint 2010 workflow platform. And After adding the "Start Approval Process", click the
    these users, and then set the approver using "Workflow lookup for a user", like the screenshot:
    Then, on the Lookup for People or Group dialog, Data source: Current Item, Field from source: the people&group column that you created.
    Finnally, save and publish the workflow.
    After the above, when you create a new item, you can type the approvers in the people&group column. After triggering the workflow, it will assign tasks to all people in the people&group column.

  • Workflow SharePoint 2010 -Approval workflow for multiple users

    Want to create a 2010 SharePoint server workflow which will allow me to send email once item is added > Start approval process > if approved then mark workflow status as approved and then send email to reviewer 2 and again start the process of approving
    > and approved then again mark status to approved and send email to reviewer 3 and mark status to approved if approved by reviewer 2 and end the workflow.Also, if the item is not approved by any user, then it should directly log a comment and go to end
    of the workflow.
    I had started as something like :
    Send Email to rev1
    Start approval process for current item with rev1
    if approval status is approved
    set workflow status to approved
    send email to rev2 and so on...everything works but when rev1 rejects the item, then workflow does not go to end of the workflow. One difficult thing is we don't have go to a step option like in 2013 workflows.
    I don't know how to move on as when I try to execute the logic, all three approval process(for 3 reviewers) run even if item is rejected .....Please help

    Hi Brampurnot,
    I have created supplier via create Supplier via workflow from a custom supplier type which has workflow attached to a custom phase. After creating the Supplier and when it was in Created phase I found supplier in My supplier workflow Activities
    under For manual Phase change. Then when I changed phase to the Approval attached phase, I found the supplier in the channel for the approver attached at that phase.Then after when the Approver approved the supplier , the supplier was visible in the "search supplier" to me!.. Hope it helps regarding the Supplier workflow..
    And coming to registering through Form I thought you might be mentioning Supplier registration at Buy Side! .
    Supplier Self registration seems not to be enabled yet on my application , so I dint have idea that it exists. Would let you know if I can try that scenario.

  • Approval Workflows with Browser-Based InfoPath Forms Not Opening In Browser

    Hello,
    I have an InfoPath forms document library with browser-based forms.  Once a user submits a form, I have them utilize the built-in Approval workflow.  The approval workflow emails the approver and provides a link to the document.  When they click the link in the email, it trys to download the InfoPath XML form instead of opening in the browser.
    How do I get it to open the form in the browser when I user clicks the link to it from the email or the approval task in the tasks list?
    Thanks

  • Using Send to with multiple files in Sharepoint 2013

    I believe I was able to copy multiple files using "Send To" just a week ago when I was testing things.  But then, it would not allow me to yesterday. It would only allow it if one file is selected.  Has there been a change? Or is there
    a setting that would turn this on or off?  Thanks. 

    i dont think, there is option to copy multiple files using Send to Location function...its only for one document at a time. you can configure multiple send to connection.
    there are other ways, i.e open with explorer and then copy multiple documents, or create workflow which copy documents from one library to other.

  • Approve requisition with multiple account assignment

    Hi,
    A requisition with 3 cost ctr. where cost is spread out with 50% to one account and 25% to the other two is send to be approved by the strategy covering the cost ctr. that get the 50% cost. This routing the approval seems logically - but can we control it someware on the IMG or ......
    BR
    Joergen

    Whether a single line item has multiple cost centers or each line item has differnt cost center?
    if each has different cost center then you can use item wise release and cost center is one of the characteristics.
    Remember if you use cost center as one characteristic then you have to follow the note 493900
    Cost Center values (CEBAN-KOSTL) and Vendor values (CEBAN-LIFNR) in the release strategy characteristics should be entered with leading zeros.
    This is true for the other structures as well (CEKKO and CESSR). See note 52225
    Note:52225
    Cause and prerequisites
    Numeric values used for the cost center characteristic in the purchase requisition release strategy with classification is not recognized. CEBAN-KOSTL is a CHAR field of length 10.
    Solution
    Enter leading zeros for the cost center value in the release strategy. eg. If the cost center value is 123456, while entering this value for the cost center in the release strategy, enter it as 0000123456

  • Is two stage approval workflow with custom user available out of the box

    I have this scenario.
    1. User1 uploads document
    2. Workflow starts and asks user name of person to whom it will send document for approval.
    3. User1 enters name and workflow sends email to that user.
    4. User2 approves document upon which it goes to User3. This User3 is a predefined user and User2 doesn't need to enter his name like User1 above.
    5. User3 approves document.
    Is this workflow available OOB in SharePoint?

    Hi Frank,
    You can create a column called Approver to store the User2 in the document library, and set the column as Required.
    Then you can create your workflow like the screenshot:
    In the workflow Strart Options, you can set "Start workflow automatically when an item is created".
