How to Use the Enforce Approval Option in Tasks

Objectives:

• Enable Enforce Approval Option.
• Enforce Approval upon Task Rejection.

Steps:

The Enforce Approval feature gives designated users the ability to move task approvals forward even if one or more approvers rejects the task ; enabling the task to continue to the next order.

Step 1: Enable Enforce Approval for Users

• Go to System Settings → System Preferences → Setup and Configuration.

• Navigate to Default Values.

• Locate Enable Task Approvals Settings.

• If task approvals are enabled, you will see the Enforce Approval option.

• Set it to Yes and add the users who should have permission to enforce approvals.

Step 2: Using Enforce Approval During Task Approval

When a Task Approval Center is defined with a sequence of approvers:

• Standard behavior:

  • If any approver rejects, the task approval is stopped.

  • You can restart or terminate the process entirely.

• With Enforce Approval enabled:

  • A designated user can override the rejection and continue the approval process.

  • To do this, click Enforce Approval.

• • Add your comment and Submit
•  

  • The approval flow will proceed with the next approver in the order.

  • The rejection will remain logged as “Rejected — Approval Enforced” for transparency.

Step 3: Editing Approvers Mid-Process

• Approvers can be adjusted while the approval process is ongoing.

• You can:

  • Edit pending approvers.

  • Add new approvers if additional validation is required.
