New Workflow Responsible Types Initiator and Supervisor​

This enhancement introduces two new Responsible Types in the Workflow Responsible window to improve workflow assignment and execution in iDempiere.

New Responsible Types Added

1. Initiator

WF responsible initiator

  • Represents the user who initiated the workflow. In case of Sales order it is sales representative.

  • Difference from Invoker:

  • The existing Invoker type considers the current logged-in user who triggered an action.

  • The Initiator type ensures tracking of the original workflow creator, maintaining distinction even if multiple users interact with the document later.

2. Supervisor

WF Responsible Supervisor

  • Identifies the supervisor of current logged in user and set it as workflow responsible.
  • Supervisor is determined based on:
    • The immediate supervisor of the User who started the workflow.
    • If no supervisor is set, the system assigns the Organization’s supervisor.
