Yes with this (event) approach each event launch a (sub)WF . The
advantage of this approach is that is suitable not only for a task
(decision task) also you can implement multi-step task with complex
features . I don't know how dynamic paralell approval works but it
appears to works properly in this case.Thanks for the info. <br>

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>

<div>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>
<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>
