In workflows it is possible to assign a approval group as the approver.
Then it is possible to set up an approval sequence:
1) First mandatory approver
2) Second mandatory approver
Both approvers must approve in this specific order

or like this:
1) One of the mandatory approvers
1) the other of the mandatory approvers
Both approvers must approve, but in no specific order

A lot of users request a third option:
0) One approver
0) Another approver
but after the "first come - first serve" principal.
When the first approver has approved the workflow, the second approval is removed
So here it is one or the other.

It is a very important feature wich already works for many other ERP and CRM systems. It is necessary to ensure a quick and clean way to approve processes.

Hello, i have the same problem from two customers.


More people are part of the sales offer workflow group but if one of them approves the document should be released because they are all at the same sales organizational level.


The two customers need the example of Peik Bech-Andersen for their workflows:


Many users require a third option:

0) One approver

0) Another approver

but on a first-come, first-served basis.

Once the first approver has approved the workflow, the second approval is removed

So here it is either one or the other.

This is a very frequently requested feature by end users and is long overdue. It would be helpful if on a pre-sale call, one can say, yep - works like that OOB. Looking forward to Microsoft's attention to this as this helps Partners, helps end users and, by extension, helps Microsoft increase sales; and I am going to repeat again that a lot of prospects and users ask for this. Thanks!

It seems more like a bug that after a document is approved, there remains Open Approval Entries!
