Workflow Fapiao Query

[nlynch91]

Hi All,

I'm hoping you can help me here. 

We have an external auditor for our Chinese expense reports that are in status 'Approved and in Accounting Review'.

At present each workflow step is set to 7 days for approvers. We want the external auditor to be set up as an approver but due to the fapiao form, we require the auditor to have more than 7 days for her step in the workflow as it can take up to 35 days.

Obviously we could change the timeframe from 7 days to 40 but the issue is we only want the number of days change for the external auditors step, not the rest of the workflow and i'm not sure this can be done.

Have you any other solutions outside of potentially having to create a new workflow for China?

Cheers,

Niall

@nlynch91 I don't think this is possible. I'm double-checking with a colleague. If it isn't possible, then the only option would be to not have an approval time expired action or number of days. 

This could work if your direct manager/approvers are diligent in approving reports in a timely manner.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the feedback.

They require the timeframe for other steps so prob wouldn't work. There is a fapio form required per line. The alternative solution I see is training users to add the expense line to a report, only when they receive the fapio form for the line. That way, when they submit, the report and all fapio forms related, would be up to date.

Cheers,

Niall
