Vendor bank account approval

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 43
Hey
 
I have created a vendor bank account approval workflow. This works fine, but a problem is that the ones that make the changes can approve their own changes. Is there any setting that has to be set to avoid this. I only want one approval per flow, but it should be another person then the one that made the change. 
 
Hope someone has worked with this.

    Hi,
     
    In the workflow configuration, you can enable the Final approver. In case the submitter will try to approve his own change, it will be redirected to another person set up in this field. 
    Other options would be using several conditions in the workflow configuration to redirect to another approval group or consider a customization for a custom participant provider that will always exclude the user that submitted the bank account change to the workflow.

    Thank you, I found a option to "Disallow approval by submitter" in System administration > workflow > workflow parameters.

    Correct. I forgot to mention that option. Glad you found it. In the past, it was still assigning to all of the users and the workflow ended in an error when the approver was also the submitter. Now, it correctly excludes the user from the list of approvers.
