Hi BC Community,
I am in need of a parallel approval workflow in Business Central. I have read the forums and understand the basic functionality does not exist in BC - so I am looking for either:
Our scenario is: we have 3 approvers
Step 1: Approver 1
Step 2: Approver 2 OR Approver 3 (whomever approves first)
I am looking for functionality to support this.
Thank you
Thank you Zhu, but I don't believe this works as intended. The flow above will require both approvers in sequence 2 to approve before proceeding.
Thanks to our partner - they helped me identify that I could change the condition for Pending Approvals as below to get the outcome required.
It also require Approve the approval request for the record as part of the remove record restriction step, to clear approvals in queue for the approver.
This was an odd one, but thank you as always for your guidance and insight!
Hi, If it's just the following requirements, I think the standard functions can do it.
Step 1: Approver 1
Step 2: Approver 2 OR Approver 3 (whomever approves first)

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

If you are in BC online i would recommend you look into using Power Automate for this.
And in the upcoming 2023 Release Wave 1 it is said that the approval workflows using Power Automate will be further improved.
