Queries for approver selection

The condition through which the approvers are determined is formulated as a database query. Several queries may be combined into one condition. This adds all employees determined by single queries to the group of approvers.

To edit the condition

  1. In the Manager, select the IT Shop > Basic configuration data > Approval procedures category.

  2. Select an approval procedure from the result list.

  3. Select Change queries for approver selection.

To create single queries

  1. Click Add.

    This inserts a new row in the table.

  2. Mark this row. Enter the query properties.
  3. Add more queries if required.
  4. Save the changes.

To edit a single query

Table 43: Query properties

Property

Description

Approver selection

Query identifier that determines the approvers.

Query

Database query for determining the approvers.

The database query must be formulated as a select statement. The column selected by the database query must return a UID_Person. Every query must return a value for UID_PWORulerOrigin. The query returns one or more employees to whom the request is presented for approval. If the query fails to a result, the request is canceled.

A query contains exactly one select statement. To combine several select statements, create several queries.

If a DBQueue Processor task is assigned, you cannot enter a query to determine approvers.

Query for recalculating

Database query for finding request procedures that require recalculation of their approvers.

You can, for example, determine predefined approvers with the query (example 1). The approver can also be found dynamically depending on the request to approve. To do this, access the request to be approved within the database query using the @UID_PersonWantsOrg variable (example 2).

Example 1

Requests should be approved by a specific approver.

Query:

select UID_Person, null as UID_PWORulerOrigin from Person where InternalName='User, JB'

Example 2

Approval for requests should be granted or denied through the requester’s parent department. The approver is the cost center manager that is assigned to the requester‘s primary department. The requester is the employee that started the request (UID_PersonInserted, for example, when placing requests for employees).

Query: 
select pc.UID_PersonHead as UID_Person, null as UID_PWORulerOrigin from PersonWantsOrg pwo
   join Person p on pwo.UID_PersonInserted = p.UID_Person
   join Department d on p.UID_Department = d.UID_Department
   join ProfitCenter pc on d.UID_ProfitCenter = pc.UID_ProfitCenter
   where pwo.UID_PersonWantsOrg = @UID_PersonWantsOrg
Taking delegation into account

To include delegation when determining approvers, use the query to also determine the employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated. If the managers of hierarchical roles are to make the approval decision, determine the approvers from the HelperHeadOrg table. This table groups all hierarchical role managers, their deputy managers, and employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated. If the members of business or application roles are to make the approval decision, determine the approvers from the PersonInBaseTree table. This table groups all hierarchical role members and employees to whom a responsibility has been delegated.

Determine the UID_PWORulerOrigin in order to notify delegators when the recipient of the delegation has made a decision on a request and thus allow the Web Portal to show if the approver was originally delegated.

To determine the UID_PWORulerOrigin of the delegation

  • Determine the UID_PersonWantsOrg of the delegation and copy this value as UID_PWORulerOrigin to the query. Use the dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin table function to do this.

    select dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin(XObjectKey) as UID_PWORulerOrigin

Modified query from example 2:

select hho.UID_PersonHead as UID_Person, dbo.QER_FGIPWORulerOrigin(hho.XObjectkey) as UID_PWORulerOrigin from PersonWantsOrg pwo join Person p on pwo.UID_PersonInserted = p.UID_Person join Department d on p.UID_Department = d.UID_Department join ProfitCenter pc on d.UID_ProfitCenter = pc.UID_ProfitCenter join HelperHeadOrg hho on hho.UID_Org = pc.UID_ProfitCenter where pwo.UID_PersonWantsOrg = @UID_PersonWantsOrg
