Workflow loop from one stage to another

Question

I created a workflow with 3 stages and each is a department. When you submit a form it must be approved by depA, depB and depC, however if deptB or depC reject it, the user must submit again but this time the form and workflow must skip depA. What conditions and rules should I use to accomplish this?

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I would create three columns

Dept A Approved

Dept B Approved

Dept C Approved

Whenever each department approves, the column value changes to Approved by <User>. Then whenever the workflow starts again, it will know that the Dept A approved the list item.
