In the approval workflow you can assign the approval to a group.

However, all persons in the group must approve it.

It should also be possible that only one person from the group has to approve, this is very helpful for vacation replacements for example or if really only one person from a group has to approve it.

Hello Business Central Team,I am sorry, but as you said:"It seems that requested feature has meanwhile been made available" is so not correct.The feature you need is not yet included in BC and would still need to be integrated by Microsoft.In the link you provided, the web page shows this text:"To define that an approval request requires that multiple equal users approve it, irrespective of a hierarchy, set up a flat workflow user group by assigning the same sequence number to all the relevant approvers."The function is good and is also needed, but in addition you also need the function:It should be possible to specify that an approval request can be approved by "one user" in a user group, regardless of hierarchy, rather than each of the users having to approve.I.e. all users in the user group can approve, as soon as "one" has approved the approval request is completed.The functionality is needed, as already written, for team in the times everyone is not there, e.g. in the case of illness, vacation, etc..
