Validation rule on Approval Process

Hi All,

 

I have a requirement where the validation rule should fire on Custom object before the first level approver click on Approve/Reject button after validating some criteria.

 

I have written the validation rule on custom object like when the Ispickvalue(Status__c,"submitted") fire this validation rule before first level approver approves and the problem i am facing is the first level approver can approve the record against the validation rule and because of approval process field updates it is updating Status field from submitted to Approved.

 

Please let me know is there any way so that i can create the validation rule for approval process instead of adding this criteria in entry level because i want the record to enter the approval process and in approval step i want to fire the validation rule.

 

Please let me know if any one has come with the same problem.

Can you explain the business requirement a bit more?

 

 

A record cannot be approved/rejected unless some condition is met?
