Each event launches a workflow for each item to be approved?<br>
<br>
I can see the advantage of something like this IF the approval process for a
given item is substantially different from another. If they just go to a
different person for approval then dynamic parallel is the most efficient
approach.<br>

font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Hi Zolt,<br>
If you want the process to be simultaneous and not sequential then a list of
the settlement objects should be used to drive the dynamic parallel
process. I use the term object because that is how I would treat each
item that is part of the outboarding process. I would create a custom
object and each item to be settled would be an instance of that object.
You could then put enough information in the object's attributes to determine
who the approver should be for that particular object. Since you already
have the custom table, creating a custom object over it would quite easy.
I don't know all that is in your customer table, but could you add approver
information for each item?<br>
<br>
Ed<br>
<br>
BTW, if the process can be or needs to be sequential then just put the list of
objects in a loop. Sometimes one thing cannot be approved until something
else has been approved.<br>

<tt>>Hi All!</tt><br>
<tt>></tt><br>
<tt>>I have to implement a workflow werkoer settlements when they are
leaving the company. For this we have created an</tt><br>
<tt>>settlement document with header and itmes, where the number of
items can be changed dependig on what kind of</tt><br>
<tt>>settlement process must be carried out (for exemple: give back the
company's assets, entrance card, etc.) Each</tt><br>
<tt>>settlement item must be approved by different person and for this I
need parallel processing.</tt><br>
<tt>>My problem is: need to have parallel processes but will not know the
number of branches until the workflow is run. The</tt><br>
<tt>>number of branches will vary from instance to instance, depending from
the number of items.</tt><br>
<tt>>Does anyone know of a way to have dynamic branches on a fork?</tt><br>
<tt>></tt><br>
<tt>>Thanks in advance,</tt><br>
