Workflow approvers for 2 users in NAV2016

Hello experts,

We had created an workflow for approving purchase quotes using following configuration

Lets say,we have 2 users(User-A & User-B) who will initiate the workflow and 2 approvers (User-C & User -D) with same level of hierarchy.

User-A ,User-B(Purchase executive) will initiate workflow for approving the purchase quotation.This will be "pending for approval" status. After the approval from User-C (Purchase Manager) the quotation is released.

There are few practical cases where user-C is busy in attending his official meetings, communicating with vendors etc..resulting delay in releasing the quotes.

Can we set another in the same stage, "User-D(Purchase Manager)" with the authority of approving the purchase quotes?

Does NAV 2016 workflows provide an option for 2 or more users to approve a transaction without delegating or cancelling the workflows?

You will have to code for it

Write your code on open page of Request to approve page, strange with th No and status as Released, if found delete the line.

Is this configurable?

Madam / Sir,

Thanks for your valuable help. I had one concern here.

If User-D approves the Purchase quotes then document is released.

However in the User-C bucket, the "Request for approval" is showing "open" status for the same document that was already approved & released by User-D.

Is there any possibility or configuration available where a user approves & releases the document then automatically it is cleared in another users bucket??
