WS14500015 - Item based approval

[Snehal Kutumbale]

Thank you Mark for the clarification.

Yes, I am generating separete approaval guids for different approvers and
setting similar approval index on same approval level ( like 1 for all the
1st approvers of different line itmes, 2 for all the 2nd approvers of
different line items etc....)

When, I analysed the workflow, paralled branches for sub-workflow had been
created and the 2 work-items were in the inbox of the approver X and Y. But
the moment approver X approved 1st line item, the event restartApprovalStep
of bus2121 was raised and the cart got approved.

We are on the latest support pack(11) of srm5.0. Also, setting the security
level as '4' through the badi in every case.

Any clarification on the workflow behaviour for restartApprovalStep would
help.

Thank you once again.

Regards,
Snehal
