Restriction on next approver - Approval Process

Hi,

 

 

I need to restrict the current user from choosing himself as the next approver in the approval process when he submits a record for approval. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.....................

How about a validation rule? If the user chosen is the owner of the record, display an error message.

Is it possible to have a validation rule on the next approver field??

I am presuming you have the Next Approver field as a look up on user. On the definition detail page, you can create a Validation Rule or you can put a Lookup Filter with the filter criteria Next Approver NOT EQUAL TO CurrentUser.

 

Hope this helps.
