I'm just getting into SharePoint dev, and working on trying to create a workflow that is for "document approval" essentially.

The logic needs to be that when a document is created, it gets an "approval date" (or due date) and there are 3 different teams that will give their approval.

The issue I have, is that I want the workflow to with until EITHER all 3 teams have given approval --OR-- when the due date is there.

Think of it as a "you have until this time to give your approval" BUT if everyone gives thier approval early, let it continue.

Can anyone help me get this going? I have it working so that it can wait for all 3 approvals, or it can wait for the given time, but I want it to respond to whatever is first.

Thanks in advance!

-EDIT- Here is the code i have now. The parallel is set to complete with the Variable:trigger is true. But it is never getting to completed even after both tasks are marked as Approved. Thoughts? Is there a better way than this?

Stage:Request Approvals
    Assign a task to Mat Scherger (Task outcome to Variable: OPSApproval | Task ID to Variable: OPSTaskID )
    Assign a task to Mat Scherger (Task outcome to Variable: COMApproval | Task ID to Variable: COMTaskID )
    Set Workflow Status to Waiting Approvals
    Set Variable: Approved to Rejected

Transition to stage
    Go to Waiting for Approvals


Stage:Waiting for Approvals
    Set Variable: trigger to No
    The following actions will run in parallel:
        Step: Department Approvals
            Wait for Event: When an item is changed (Output to Variable: itemtrigger )
            If Variable: OPSApproval equals Approved
            and Variable: COMApproval equals Approved
                Set Variable: Approved to Approved
            Set Variable: trigger to Yes
        Step: Wait for Due Date
            Pause until 7/29/2014 9:52:00 PM
            Set Variable: Approved to Approved
            Set Variable: trigger to Yes
Transition to stage
    If Variable: Approved equals Approved
        Go to Completed
    Else
        Go to Waiting for Approvals
