This API takes several parameters and updates the reapproval data in the process instance so that proposal line items can be automatically reapproved when resubmitted after finalizing new items in the cart. This API is available in the base Approvals package, 

APISignature
updateApprovalDatawebService static Boolean updateApprovalData(Id instanceId, String sObjectType, Id contextObjId, List oldContextObjIds, List newContextObjIds)
Request Parameters
NameTypeRequired?Description
instanceIdIDYesThe process instance ID currently running in the system
sObjectTypeStringYesThe sObject type used to identify the object type
contextObjIdIDYesThe ID of the context object
oldContextObjIdsList<ID>oldContextObjIdsYesThe list of approval data context object IDs to be replaced
newContextObjIdsList<ID> newContextObjIdsYesThe list of new approval data context object IDs
Response Parameter
NameTypeRequiredDescription
OkBooleanYesDefines if the operation was successful. Returns true if yes, otherwise false.


Code Sample

The sample below enables you to execute auto-reapprovals over proposal line items by considering input parameters such as process instance, sObject type, context object, and lists of old and new context object IDs. These IDs represent the proposal line-item IDs before and after the cart is finalized. You can use this API, for example, when a quote or proposal is approved but the approvals manager changes the discount from 10 to 15% on a proposal line item. You can resubmit the approval request for reapproval. The system honors the auto-reapproval criteria, using which, a request once approved by certain assignees is auto-approved.
