Limiting workflow approval process

Hello,
There's a workflow process for the talent management module HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC. The approval process is going up many levels to the top person in the organization (using the supervisor hierarchy), but I want to limit this to only one step above the appraisees supervisor.
Say I am being appraised, my supervisor will do the appraiser and his own supervisor will approve.
Is there anyway to limit approval levels. I've looked at Approvals Management but not really sure what to make of it to be honest.
Thanks a lot.

I've done a few things just to update.
I create a new condition, the condition type is "Ordinary", the item class is "Header" and the condition is WORKFLOW_PROCESS_NAME in (HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC)
Also, created a new rule:
The rule type is list creation, the item class is Header and the category is Approver.
This rule includes the condition I created above.
Also, the action I have defined for this rule is:
Require approvals up to the first superior, at most.
Should this solve my problem?
Also of note is that the workflow process for HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC contains sub processes, does that fact have any effect?
Thanks again.

  • How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

    I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
    process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks. 
    For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
    this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
    Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
    Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

    NBDevelopment,
    I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
    The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
    You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

  • Customizing Workflow approval process

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to customize the 'Change Pay' workflow process in item_type 'HRSSA' to route it through custom approvers derived through PL/SQL code. Please let me know as to where to start from and where do I place my custom function whcih derives the approvers in the workflow process.
    If I remove the process name from the AME condition, it doesn't go for any approval as I can see in the Status diagram. The 'IsFinalApprover' node in 'Notification Process for Approvers and Notifiers' returns Y and the process ends.
    Thanks,
    R

    Thanks for the reply.
    But the requirement is quite complex to be achieved through AME. For ex: the approval notification should timeout conditionally based on the recipient of the notification which cannot be achieved through AME.

  • Workflow approval process from outlook using webservice

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find a solution, for approval of worklow workitems from outlook. DUET is not a solution recommended by IT team.
    I need information regarding approval and rejection of workitems using webservice
    How can we send workitem for approval and rejection to outlook using webservicie?
    Please propose a solution or tell me where can I find document regarding this scebario.
    Thanks.

    Hi Pawan
    I have a question regarding this thread.
    In case we are using the webservice BWSP to send every user a hyperlink and I have passed the hyperlink  in the mail step in workflow , so that on clicking on it they will be able to view their business workplace.
    1.Where should we do the setting for the logon credentials that is on clicking the link every user is asked for their user id's and password and then the business workplace opens up.
    2. Will he be able to execute the workitems or any other setting is also require.
    Also,I was going through your post on using web service to send a link to outlook where in you mentioned a piece of code to generate the hyperlink dynamically since details of host and port may change.
    Now how should the above setting for user credentials be maintained in that code.
    Your comments would be valuable on this.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Remove the last task of the stand approval process workflow in SharePoint Designer

    Hello,
    I am building a workflow in SharePoint Designer.  I have added the standard approval process that comes stock in SharePoint. I also have the approval set up to handle change requests.  This is where my issue is.  A user can eather approve
    a document or request changes(according to some limitations i have in place on the InfoPath form).  If they approve, the workflow is complete.  If they request a change, a request change task gets assigned to another user.  This other user then
    completes their review and submits their response.  this then kicks off the approval process again to the original user to approve. 
    1. User A recieves approval form - requests a change
    2. User B recieves Form - submits that changes have been made
    3. User A recieves another approval form - then can approve
    I am looking for a way to eliminate step number 3.  I want User B to be able to complete the approval when he submits the changes.  I tried copying and pasting the approve button from the default infopath view onto the view that UserB
    sees, which has a data submit action when the button is clicked. This did not work.
    Any ideas would help

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a “request a change” button in the Task Form.
    If you can cutomize the task form, I recommend to add button directly and then add conditions and rules to the button.
    After you add the “request a change” button, the workflow is similar to the
    Multiple Approval Workflow.

  • Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
    It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
    There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
    Please find below my obeservations:
    - if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
    - if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
    Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Difference between Approval process signature strategy and Workflow

    Hi Everybody,
              I just wanted to know the difference between the approval process and Business workflow. How both of them useful in PLM prospective ??
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    Approval or digital signature process in PLM involves creating authorization groups, signature strategies and assigning individual signatures to signature strategy groups.For example, to create digital signature for Engineering Manager, you create authorization group say ENGMGR and define it as individual signature and assign it to a signature strategy group.
    Business workflow is used to automate a business process.For example,it can be used in PLM-DMS for document review process.This can be triggered by status change(has to be defined in customizing) in document.
    Hope this helps.

  • Auto approval process in workflow

    Hi,
    We are implementing customized workflow with approval/rejection process
    There should be a auto approval process when agent does not complete task within 3 days.
    When the approval is done then we are sending emails and performing some actions.
    When the auto approval happnes after 3 days we do not want the workflow to terminate but it should end.
    Kindly suggest if it is possible.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rahul

    Rahul,
    You can use a 'modeled deadline' to set the original workitem to obsolete after (say) 3 days.
    There is a wizard available to help you with this (in ECC 6.0).
    Then, on the obsolete outcome branch, you can add a new (background) step that approves
    the item automatically. (This is assuming you have an 'approval' method available for the object).
    hope this helps
