GRC AC 10- Multiple detour for single stage path

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I wanted to know about a possibility or view. Do you know anyway where we can have multiple detour activated(like first detour 1 then detour 2 check) for single stage.

Actually once we click on routing rule, we get only select single detour selection option.

Please suggest idea.

(I would like to update that we do not want system to have multiple level of approver but only single role owner stage).

Final solution is creating custom detour having ability to handle multiple scenario but we are looking for no custom initiator)

Regards,

Nishant

Hi Nis,

unfortunately in standard solution only one detour path can be added to single stage.

When we had such a challenge, like you described, we simply used custom initiator and this is truly the best option to go.

In our case we wanted to have different path (detour) for roles with special attribute an in the same time different path in case sod issue occurs. In other words we wanted to have 2 detours condition on one stage like you want to have. The option that suites our needs in the best way was to have custom initiator rule.

As suggested above by Filip, a initiator rule is the way forward if you have more than one routing condition to check at the beginning, and the same common 1st stage can be the intial stage in all your paths.

However, what this will mean is that whilst the 1st stage is shared by all the paths, the request will be split into as many paths required and the same approvers will end up having to approve different parts of the same request in the same initial stage.

We learnt this the hard way at a previous project, however we were lucky enough to only need a "True/False" type routing rule, therefore a single detour/routing rule was implementable after the shared/common/initial stage.

MSMP is like 'a piece of cake', once you cut pieces into further pieces, the same pieces can not be merged back together like before.
