kpr Prevent resubmission of an approved record
Hi,
I have a use case, wherein, if an opportunity record is approved once, the user shouldn't be able to submit it again for approval.
Standard functionality allows resubmitting an approved record.
I know I can prevent it if I use Apex to submit the Approval. But then I'd have to develop custom page too. I want to leverage the standard page and functionality, but want this extra feature.
Can anyone suggest a method with standard functionality to do it?
Thanks in advance
I was thinking through this and suddenly the solution splashed to me!
I created a picklist field called 'Approval_status__c'with values 'approved' and 'rejected'.
From the approval process, I used field update final action to update the field value to 'approved' upon approval and 'rejected' upon rejection of the record.
I put the entry criteria as 'Approval_status__c' not equal to 'approved'!
That's it. So simple!
I thought this might save the time for anyone with a similar problem.Hence sharing.
