- Find X.
The approver has to click the Approve button several times. After approving the first time the status is Document saved, only after the second approval the status is Approved.
Cause
Several similar conditions are maintained in the document's approval process in multiple steps. This leads to multiple tasks being created for the same user.
Resolution
You can either remove one of the conditions in the approval process or use the Skip Reapproval checkbox to prevent an approver from receiving several approval tasks for the same document.
