Is it possible to combine a Workflow User Group and an Approval Chain in one Workflow using standard Business Central functionality or is development required?

Example scenario is as follows:

Purchase Quote raised and sent for approval

If Amount is over 10K it will first go to a Workflow User Group to either approve or reject.

If approved, when Pending Approval = 0, the Quote is to continue through to an Approval Chain. If rejected a notification should be sent back to the requester, document should be reopened, record restriction removed etc

Approvers in Approval Chain either approve or reject the quote

If approved, when Pending Approvals = 0, then document is released, record restriction removed and a notification is sent to the requester. If rejected by the approvers in the Approval Chain, document is reopened, record restriction is removed, message sent back to the requester etc.

Thank you

hello

it takes development but maybe you could do it using power automate.

although I don't see the point

why don't you add those who are part of the chain to the user group?

Thanks Daniele. Unfortunately, adding approvers in the approval chain to the user groups would require in excess of 200 workflow user groups to mimic the the different approval limits of the approvers which I'm not sure in maintainable.
