olkeith 2008-10-15T14:34:11Z A decent workaround is to have custom fields on the record such as a stage or status that gets updated via approval steps. This is definitely reportable. If you want to report on reasons for rejection, you must have another field on the record that a user can put this on, but be sure the approver can edit the record. watsonjl 2008-09-30T13:10:43Z We're just about to launch a really important app - which uses Approval Process - and I just realized that there is no reporting, viewing, or anything with regards to the approval steps! This is critical to this process, and a serious shortcoming. Yikes - Salesforce, WAKE UP!!!! I'm really surprised to see no comments from SFDC users.... qadmin 2008-08-20T14:47:05Z Being able to report on what is approved and rejected would be great. We use approval process for additional discount requests in the Opportunity object. Having the ability to drill down on what country or sales person is reuestion the most discount or how often would be of huge advantage to management. This is a must have!!! bryanmb 2008-08-08T12:09:39Z I agree, this functionality is vital. It would be great to be able to put it on the dashboard so that bottlenecks could be identified easily, and to allow quick reporting of what Approvals were at which stage of which approval process. roopa 2008-08-04T23:27:02Z This functionally is really needed..I have a requirement for creating reports on Approval Process details for specific Custom Object. bancmartin 2008-07-22T09:32:40Z Agreed. I want to create a dashboard for management so that they can see any approval bottlenecks. forcesuperuser 2008-07-16T13:27:00Z This is something that is really needed. I have this great tool at my hands with no reporting capabilities. It's like having a mustang with a 4 cylinder engine. Donovan_Kruger 2008-07-10T12:24:18Z Agreed. This should include the ability to run statistics such as Average, Minimum, Mean, and Maximum times spent for each approval process, as well as the Average, Minimum, Mean, and Maximum times spent on each approval Step within each process. It would seem logical to locate the bottlenecks in a company's approval process if some processes seem to take too much time to get through. Without the ability to report against Approval history data, this is not possible. diz 2008-05-28T14:08:38Z Great idea. This should probably be titled something like "Make approval merge fields available" because they are necessary in workflow field updates, formulas, etc. Also, what does recalling an approval request do to the record? Would be nice if recalled approval requests changed some attribute on the record indicating this in addition to recalling the approval request. cliodhnae 2008-04-15T01:24:41Z Would also like to be able to report on past approvals and not just those that are pending. rcb 2008-03-13T21:27:16Z Ability to report on any or all the fields shown on the "Approval History" section so we can track the progress of an approval request. jjohnson@ascap.com 2008-03-04T12:09:43Z I would like the ability to create reports on the number of items that have been submitted for approval (by process), and show the outcome for each submission approved, rejected resubmitted etc...

Approval Reporting (duplicate of #1) http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/76418/ InQuisitiveJ 2008-02-12T13:06:59Z I've created an Approval Process for our Inside Sales Rep to "hand off" qualified accounts to the Outside Sales Team. They need to contact the Account and Accept or Reject them as a Qualified Opportunity. I can see the "Pending Approval" report... but there is no Approval History Report available. The inside Sales Rep is Comp'd on the number of Qualfied Accounts that are Accepted. I can see the Approval data is there... there is just no report to access it. fjw 2008-02-12T13:06:28Z This appearrs to be the same as http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/70216/Allow_reporting_on_Approval_History Luvara 2008-02-12T13:06:28Z It would be nice to have the ability to report on approvals. Even though there is the "items to approve" list I can place on my homepage, it would be nice to have the ability to report on what approvals are outstanding, what approvals have been denied/approved and how long it took for approvals to be carried out. LarryT 2008-02-12T13:06:07Z Allow reporting on Approval History (Duplicate?) http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/70216/ CRMSuggestions 2008-02-12T13:06:07Z Need this feature, as the moment, the only way to know the pending request is getting approval emails or you have the items to approve in the home page. Alex10 2008-02-12T13:06:07Z It is important to be able to run a report on the Comments field in the approval process, to have a view of the current status of records sent for approval. gmichel 2008-02-12T13:06:07Z Once you start using approval process, you quickly end up with a sudden suprise: I could not find how to create a report on all the instances of a given approval process. I would like to know all the instances of a process, with their current status (approved, rejected, pending) when, by whom, in which step, since when, etc and a direct link to the approval screen and/or the object in the process... and of course being able to filter on all this. This would enable a real monitoring of the workflow which is currently lacking, unless I missed something. LarryT 2008-02-12T13:05:31Z Duplicate of... 1.

We have our approval process routed to a Queue, and our QA team gets paid on the amount of good Approvals they make. I need the ability to track who has approved what in a specific timeframe. tarah 2007-12-11T08:33:53Z If possible, I'd like to have the ability to cull fields from the object (in my case opportunities), to show up in the report. We approve discounts in our opportunities. The staff and our Financial department wishes to see all approvals by given staffers for performance management, discount tracking, troubleshooting and to see the history of approvals for a given client. tarah 2007-12-11T08:33:40Z If possible, I'd like to have the ability to cull fields from the object (in my case opportunities), to show up in the report.
