Hello,
Can someone tell me the real difference between reqapproval1.xml and reqapproval2.xml? The documentation gives this cryptic clue:
The two flows are identical in all respects except that reqapproval1 looks for a
value from the requisitions header detail to determine the appropriate level to
restart the approval process. Reqapproval2 always starts at the first level of
approval.
I can see that reqapproval1 does track it's status by updating the PFLOW_APRV_LVL field on the req header. However I'm not sure what the practical application of this is?
Thanks,
redluv

Sounds to me that when reqapproval2 is restarted, that it would go through each level of the approval process over again. Reqapproval1, on the other hand, will restart and pick up where the approval process left off.

I could be wrong, but I believe reapproval2 allows you to set dollar amount limits at the line level where as reqaproval1 looks at the total dollar amount of the requisition.

Restart seems to be the operative word. What does that mean? Why would a flow restart?

Flows are restarted either because they fail, like during a system outage, or because the approver has changed. In the latter case, you would restart the flow so it would go to the new approver.

OK sounds like reqapproval1 has an advantage then. Thanks for your help!
