SAP Ariba supports several types ofapproval nodesin workflows, including:
User: A specific person designated as an approver.
List: A predefined set of users, where one or more members must approve.
Group: A user group defined in the system (e.g., Legal, Finance) that must take action.
“Preparer” and “Finance” are not approval node types in the workflow configuration; they are roles or functional areas that may be represented by a user or group node.
