    How to add a new stage in BPM worklist and add creator as the approver to that task
    Content:

    We have specific business requirement to have different levels of approvals, to accomodate that requirement, we need to create a new stage and add the purchase order buyer to that stage as the approver. 

     

    To add creator as the approver, we need to use Expression builder, can anyone advise how to include task creator as the approver by using Expression Builder

    Would you be able to try:

    1) Add Approver - Supervisory

    2) Set starting participant to: HierarchyBuilder.getPrincipal(task.creator,-1,"","")

    3) Set top participant to: HierarchyBuilder.getPrincipal(task.creator,-1,"","")

    4) Number of levels to: 1

    Thank you,

    Kim

      Please provide business use case that's leading to this requirement.

        Hi Suman,

         

        We have a requirement to include same approver twice in the process in Serial (one for Reassigning to someone and another is actual approval)., so our thinking is to create a new stage. 

        Please advise us.

        Thanks,

        Sabarish.

        Hi Suman,

      Hi,

      If you are planning to use BPM worklist for PO approvals for your requirement, then following values would help you to acheive it.

      Case 1 : Buyer is the Approver

      Use,

      List Builder : Resource, Response Type : Required

      User : PurchasingDocumentHeader.buyerUserName

       

      Case 2 : Task Creator as Approver

      Use,

      List Builder : Resource, Response Type : Required

      User : Task.creator

       

      Above Approver setups would work based on the conditions you use. 

      Hope it helps,

      Regards,

      Harshith E S

        Hi E S, 

        Thanks for the steps. I tried case 2, but not successful. If possible can you please help me how to include Task.Creater in the Expression Builder.

         

        Thanks,

        Sabarish.

      Would you be able to explain the use case for adding a task creator as an approver in a little more detail?  

      Attached is an image of the instructions for sending to the task.creator for approval.

      Do you have remaining open questions?

      Has anyone found a white paper/document that outlines how to use the BPM worklist... like detailed instructions? I only have a document for how to use advanced mode: a worked example, but I was looking for something more general.

        Hi Brianna,

        I am also looking for similar document.

        Can you please upload here, what you have.

        Thank you
