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 new items are finalized 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 executing in the system.
sObjectTypeStringYesThe sObject type that is used to identify the object type.
contextObjIdIDYesThe ID of the context object.
oldContextObjIdsList<ID>oldContextObjIdsYesThe list of old approval data context object IDs to be replaced with new ones.
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 the 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 where a Quote/Proposal is approved but the Approvals Manager changes the discount from 10 to 15 percent on a proposal line Item. You can resubmit this approval request for reapproval. The system honors the auto-reapproval criteria, by which a request once approved by certain assignees is auto-approved.

See the complete code included in the package to understand how this works, especially CustomProposalLineItemSupport.cls. Note that the code in this package is based on a trigger on the Proposal Line Item object, which saves the old IDs of proposal line items before they are deleted as well as the new IDs of the proposal line items that are inserted after the cart is finalized. You can extend this concept to other of the proposal object's custom child objects by creating a trigger on them and using the same pattern in the sample code to save IDs before and after new items are created.
