Symptoms

When approving a requisition that has two stages of approval, new approver is added when the first approver approves the requisition. Issue occurs when the approval process setup has both the stages at header level. The first stage has Static source and second is Dynamic. Also, the Dynamic step has Check Authorization selected for the criteria to be defined on the Authorize Approver page.

Steps:

1. Open Approval Process Setup for requisition and create a new Approval Process setup with two stages, one static and other Dynamic, both on Header level. Note the Approver user list for the dynamic stage step.
    Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Approval Process Setup
2. Open the Path Criteria for the Dynamic stage and select Check Authorization check box.
3. Open the Authorize Approval page and setup for requisition
    Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Authorize Approval
     ePro Requester- VP1     <= 500
     ePro Buyer-       VP2     <= 1000
     ePro Admin-      VP3     <= 1500
     
4. Setup the users with Supervisor and Authorize approval role.
    User                      SuperVisor       Role
    Wendycho                 VP1
    VP1                          VP2           ePro Requester
    VP2                          VP3           ePro Buyer
    VP3                                           ePro Admin
5. Go to the User List Setup page and open the approver user list for the dynamic step, setup on the Approver User list, choose the Application package radio button and enter the application package and class.
    Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > User List Setup
6. Create ePro Requisition using WENDYCHO profile
     eProcurement > Create Requisition
7. Submit for approval
8. See that only one approver is present in the approval chain for the Dynamic stage step.
9. Login through any stage 1 approver and approve the requisition
10. Open the requisition approval chain to see that new approver is added to the dynamic stage approver list.
