workflow<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi Manish,</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your response; but my requirement is to implement the
following:</DIV>
<DIV>1. When there is no approver found for a shopping cart created by
a user; then the shopping cart has to go to an Administrator. Now, it is
theoretically possible that an administrator may create a shopping cart
and does not maintain any approvers. In such a case, the shopping cart goes
to an administrator(which is himself). </DIV>
<DIV>To make the point clearer, depending on the start conditions(approver found
or not, no of approvers required) a different workflow
is triggered. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What we would want to do is not to allow the workitem to be
executed(approve/reject), but otherwise, the workitem should go to the
administrator so that he may forward the workitem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Excluding an adminstrator would not be helpful here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know of any ideas on achieving this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
<DIV>Ashish<BR> </DIV>
