Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an approval method for a business form according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by an approval apparatus (e.g., an approval process engine) of the business form, where the apparatus can be implemented by software and/or hardware, and can be configured in an electronic device, typically, a computer device, a tablet computer, or a mobile phone. Optionally, the method for approving the service form provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a scenario of approving the service form, and is particularly applicable to a scenario of approving a service form that has a possibility of being invoked by another service object. As shown in fig. 1, the method for approving a service form provided in this embodiment may include:

s101, when a current approval request is received, determining to-be-approved data in a to-be-approved form corresponding to the current approval request, wherein the to-be-approved data is data to be modified from original data in the to-be-approved form.

The current approval request can be understood as a currently processed approval request, and the approval request is used for requesting an approval process engine to approve the approval process engine to the approval data to be modified from the original data in the form to be approved, and can be triggered and generated by a salesman when the original data in the form to be approved is modified, such as when the salesman submits approval. The form to be examined and approved can be understood as a business form which needs to be examined and approved at this time, and correspondingly, the original data is the data filled in the form to be examined and approved and can be stored in a business database; the pending data is data to be approved in the pending form, that is, data to be modified from the original data in the pending form, and may be any content capable of being modified, such as characters and/or numbers, in the pending form.

Exemplarily, when a salesman wants to modify original data in a form to be examined stored in a business database, the salesman can submit an approval request carrying a form identifier (such as a form ID) to be examined of the form to be examined and the approved data to be modified from the original data; correspondingly, after receiving the approval request submitted by the salesman, the computer device can take the approval request as the current approval request, analyze the current approval request and determine the to-be-approved data which needs to be approved at this time.

And S102, examining and approving the data to be examined to generate an examination and approval result.

The approval result can be understood as a final approval result of the form to be approved, that is, an approval result generated by a last-stage approval node in an approval process corresponding to the form to be approved.

In this embodiment, the approval process corresponding to the form to be approved may include a first approval node without a right to modify data in the form to be approved and/or a second approval node with a right to modify data in the form to be approved. Correspondingly, when the approval process corresponding to the form to be approved includes only the first approval node, the data to be approved by each approval node in the approval process are the data to be approved carried in the current approval request; when the approval process corresponding to the approval form includes the second approval node, the to-be-approved data of the first-stage approval node in the approval process is the to-be-approved data carried in the current approval request, the to-be-approved data of the other-stage approval nodes except the first-stage approval node is the to-be-approved data approved by the previous-stage approval node, and this case is taken as an example in the following. The first approval node can be a node only used for form approval, and an approval person at the side of the first approval node only needs to give approval opinions when performing form approval, wherein the approval opinions can be approved to modify or refuse to modify; the second approval node may be a node having both form approval and business handling capabilities, and an approver at the second approval node side may modify data in the form to be approved when performing form approval, such as adjusting a date in the form to be approved, modifying an amount of money in the form to be approved, and/or adding information such as remarks in the form to be approved, and the like.

In this step, when the approval process corresponding to the form to be approved includes multiple levels of approval nodes, the approval nodes of each level in the approval process can be sequentially controlled to continue to approve the approved data of the approval node of the previous level when the approval node of the previous level passes the approval. Specifically, the to-be-approved data may be stored in an approval database of an approval process engine, and a first-level approval node corresponding to the current approval request is determined as a current approval node; sending the data to be examined to the current examination and approval node so that an examination and approval person on the side of the current examination and approval node can examine and approve the data to be examined; if the approval is passed, updating the to-be-approved data into intermediate approval data which is approved by the approver, determining a next-stage approval node as a current approval node, and returning to execute the operation of sending the to-be-approved data to the current approval node until the next-stage approval node does not exist; and when the next-level approval node does not exist, generating an approval result with approved contents, and determining the to-be-approved data stored in the approval database as target data.

In the above preferred embodiment, the form data storage structure for storing the pending data in the pending form during the approval process may be designed inside the approval process engine. Because the data to be approved in various types of forms to be approved needs to be faced, the form data storage structure can be an open map structure, key-value pairs are adopted to store the data, the key can be the field name of the form to be approved, and the value is the data value to be approved of the corresponding field of the form to be approved. The stored pending data may be stored in an approval database of the approval process engine corresponding to the process instance data (e.g., approval records) of the approval process to which the pending data belongs, for example, a field in the form of json may be added to the process instance table, and the pending data and the process instance data of the approval process to which the pending data belongs may be stored in the process instance table corresponding to the field. The approval database is configured by the approval process engine, and data stored in the approval database is only visible to the approval process engine, so that the to-be-approved data can be stored in the approval database in the approval process, and the original data in the to-be-approved form stored in the business database still keeps the state of the to-be-approved form before submission and approval and cannot be updated.

For example, the approval process of the pending data can be described as:

a. and operating an approval process corresponding to the current approval request, storing the to-be-approved data in the to-be-approved form in an approval database, and determining a first-stage approval node in the approval process as the current approval node after the approval process is started.

b. And sending the data to be examined, which is stored in the current-time service database and corresponds to the current examination and approval request, to the current examination and approval node for examination and approval.

c. When the approval of the data to be approved at the current approval node is detected to be finished, judging whether the current approval node passes the approval, if the approval is not passed, generating an approval result with the contents of which the approval is not passed, and finishing the operation; and if the approval is passed, executing the step d.

d. Judging whether the current approval node modifies the data to be approved, if so, updating the data to be approved stored in the approval database into the modified data to be approved of the current approval node, and executing the step e; if not, executing step e.

e. Judging whether the current node has a next-level approval node, if so, determining the next-level approval node as the current approval node, and returning to execute the step b; and if not, generating an approval result with approved contents, and determining the to-be-approved data stored in the approval database at the current moment as target data.

It can be understood that, in the approval process, the data to be approved in the form to be approved may also be stored in other storage locations except the approval database, for example, may be stored outside the business system, and only needs to ensure that the data is not called by the business system.

S103, if the content of the approval result is approval pass, updating the original data in the to-be-approved form stored in the service database into target data, wherein the target data is final approval data obtained by approving the to-be-approved data.

Correspondingly, if the content of the approval result is that the approval is not passed, a prompt message that the approval is not passed can be sent to the terminal generating the current approval request.

In this embodiment, the approval process engine may directly call a business object corresponding to the form to be approved to update the original data in the form to be approved to the target data; a preset approval data update interface may also be called, and the business object corresponding to the form to be approved is called through the approval data update interface to update the original data in the form to be approved to the target data, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The examination and approval process engine and the business object are coupled together because the business object corresponding to the form to be examined is directly called to update the original data in the form to be examined and approved, and at the moment, the calling logic of the examination and approval process engine needs to be modified no matter the form to be examined and approved or the business object corresponding to the form to be examined and approved changes. Therefore, in order to reduce the coupling between the approval process engine and the external business object, in this embodiment, preferably, an approval data update interface may be preset, and the approval data update interface is used to update the original data in the form to be approved to the target data, at this time, preferably, the updating the original data in the form to be approved to the target data includes: and calling an approval data updating interface, and updating the original data in the form to be approved into target data through the approval data updating interface.

The approval data updating interface can be used for being called by an approval process engine to update data in a form to be approved, and can have three parameters of a business object identifier, a form to be approved identifier and an updating operation type parameter, wherein the business object identifier can be understood as an object identifier of a business object to be called, the updating operation type parameter can be understood as a type of operation which is currently required by the approval data updating interface to be executed on the data in the form to be approved, such as new creation, modification or deletion, and when the lock state adjusting interface is called by the approval process engine, the operation which is consistent with the updating operation type parameter can be executed on the data in the form to be approved.

Illustratively, when the approval process engine passes the approval, the approval process engine may send the service object identifier of the service object corresponding to the form to be approved, the form identifier to be approved, and the corresponding update operation type parameter to the lock state adjustment interface; when receiving the service object identifier, the to-be-approved form identifier and the update operation type parameter sent by the approval process engine, the approval data update interface can call the service object corresponding to the to-be-approved form according to the service object identifier, control the service object to determine the to-be-approved form based on the approval form identifier, and execute the operation conforming to the update operation type on the original data in the to-be-approved form, so as to update the original data in the to-be-approved form into the approved target data.

In this embodiment, the modification of the data to be approved in the approval process is only reflected in the approval database inside the approval process engine, and only when the approval process is completed and the approval result is that the approval is passed, the approval process engine updates the final approved data stored in the approval database into the form to be approved stored in the business database, and at this time, the external business object can read the data values that are finally approved in the approval process; and when the approval result is that the approval is not passed, the data stored in the approval database is not updated into the to-be-approved form stored in the business database, the data in the to-be-approved form stored in the business database is still kept in a state before submission and approval, and the external business object reads the original data before submission and approval all the time, so that the problem of data distortion is avoided.

In the method for approving the business form provided in this embodiment, when a current approval request is received, the to-be-approved data in the to-be-approved form corresponding to the current approval request is determined, where the to-be-approved data is data to be modified from the original data in the to-be-approved form, the to-be-approved data is approved to generate an approval result, and if the content of the approval result is approval pass, the original data in the to-be-approved form stored in the business database is updated to the target data that the to-be-approved data finally passes the approval. By adopting the technical scheme, the original data in the form to be approved is not updated in the approval process, and the original data is updated into the final approved target data after the approval is completed, so that the accuracy of the business data statistical result can be improved, and the distortion of data statistics is avoided.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another approval method for a business form according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The solution in this embodiment may be combined with one or more of the alternatives in the above-described embodiments. In this embodiment, optionally, the approving the to-be-approved data to generate an approval result includes: if the form to be examined and approved is in an unlocked state, the form to be examined and approved is adjusted from the unlocked state to a locked state, the data to be examined and approved are examined and approved, an examination and approval result is generated, and the locked state is used for refusing the updating of the original data by the non-examination and approval process engine; after the updating of the original data in the form to be approved to the target data, the method further comprises: and adjusting the form to be examined and approved from a locked state to an unlocked state.

Optionally, before the adjusting the to-be-approved form from the unlocked state to the locked state, the method further includes: and determining that other approval requests which correspond to the form to be approved and are not approved completely do not exist in the approval process engine.

Optionally, the method for approving a service form provided in this embodiment further includes: and if the form to be approved is in a locked state, and/or if other approval requests which correspond to the form to be approved and are not approved yet exist in the approval process engine, rejecting the current approval request.

Correspondingly, as shown in fig. 2, the method for approving the service form provided in this embodiment may include:

s201, when a current approval request is received, determining to-be-approved data in a to-be-approved form corresponding to the current approval request, wherein the to-be-approved data is data to be modified from original data in the to-be-approved form.

S202, judging whether the form to be examined and approved is in an unlocked state, if so, executing S203; if not, go to step S208.

In this embodiment, the lock status of the form to be approved can be represented by the lock identifier of the form to be approved. Correspondingly, after receiving the current approval request, inquiring from the service database according to the identity of the form to be approved carried in the current approval request to obtain the form to be approved, and further judging whether the form to be approved has a lock identifier, if so, judging that the form to be approved is in a locked state; if not, the list to be checked is judged to be in an unlocked state.

S203, judging whether other examination and approval requests which correspond to the form to be examined and approved and are not examined and approved exist in the examination and approval process engine, if so, executing S208; if not, go to S204.

For example, it may be determined that an approval process that has not been run and ended in the approval process engine is first determined, then, based on an approval form identifier of the approval form to be examined, it is queried whether an approval process for approving the approval form exists in each approval process that has not been run and ended, if yes, S208 is executed; if not, go to S204.

And S204, adjusting the to-be-approved form from an unlocked state to a locked state, wherein the locked state is used for refusing the non-approval process engine to update the original data.

In this embodiment, although the current approval request is rejected when there are other approval requests that correspond to the form to be approved and that have not been approved yet in the approval process engine, it is ensured that multiple approval requests corresponding to the form to be approved are not simultaneously processed in the approval process engine, and data in the form to be approved is prevented from being confused, the form to be approved may be updated (such as new creation, modification, deletion, and the like) by other business services other than the approval process engine through a data update interface that calls business data, and if the data in the form to be approved is updated by other business services before approval is passed, the update performed by the business service is covered by the update of the approval process engine after approval is passed, which may result in the hidden danger of inconsistent data in the approved data. Therefore, in this embodiment, before the approval of the to-be-approved data in the to-be-approved form, the to-be-approved form may be adjusted to be in a locked state, for example, a lock identifier is added to the to-be-approved form; correspondingly, when other business services need to update data in a certain form (such as an approval form) stored in the business database, whether the form is in a locked state can be judged, and only when the form is judged not to be in the locked state, the update operation is executed on the data in the form, so that the updated data is prevented from being covered by target data updated by the approval process engine.

And S205, examining and approving the data to be examined to generate an examination and approval result.

And S206, if the content of the approval result is approval pass, updating the original data in the to-be-approved form stored in the service database into target data, wherein the target data is final approval data obtained by approving the to-be-approved data.

And S207, adjusting the to-be-approved form from a locked state to an unlocked state, and ending the operation.

In this step, after the original data in the form to be approved stored in the service database is updated to the target data, the form to be approved may be adjusted from the locked state to the unlocked state, for example, the lock identifier of the form to be approved is deleted, so as to adjust the form to be approved to the updateable state.

In this embodiment, the approval process engine may directly call the business object corresponding to the form to be approved to adjust the lock state of the form to be approved; a preset lock state adjustment interface may also be called, and the lock state of the form to be approved is adjusted by calling the business object corresponding to the form to be approved through the lock state adjustment interface, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The examination and approval process engine and the business object are coupled together due to the fact that the business object corresponding to the form to be examined is directly called to adjust the locking state of the form to be examined, and at the moment, the calling logic of the examination and approval process engine needs to be modified no matter the form to be examined changes or the business object corresponding to the form to be examined changes. Therefore, in order to reduce the coupling between the approval process engine and the external business object, in this embodiment, a lock state adjustment interface may be preferably preset, and the lock state of the form to be approved is adjusted through the lock state adjustment interface, at this time, preferably, the adjusting the form to be approved from the unlocked state to the locked state includes: calling a lock state adjusting interface, and adjusting the to-be-examined and approved form from an unlocked state to a locked state through the lock state adjusting interface; the adjusting the to-be-approved form from a locked state to an unlocked state comprises: and calling a lock state adjusting interface, and adjusting the to-be-approved form from a locked state to an unlocked state through the lock state adjusting interface.

The lock state adjustment interface can be used for adjusting the lock state of the form to be examined, and can have two parameters, namely a service object identifier and the form identifier to be examined, and can be further provided with a lock operation type parameter, wherein the lock operation type parameter can be understood as the type of operation, such as locking or unlocking, which is currently required to be executed by the lock state adjustment interface on the form to be examined. When the form to be approved is not in the lock operation type parameter, the lock state adjusting interface can directly switch the lock state of the form to be approved when being called by the approval process engine, namely if the form to be approved is in the unlocked state, the form to be approved is adjusted to be in the locked state, and if the form to be approved is in the locked state, the form to be approved is adjusted to be in the unlocked state; when the lock operation type parameter exists, the lock state adjusting interface can execute the operation which is consistent with the lock operation type parameter when being called by the approval process engine, namely, if the lock operation type parameter sent by the approval process engine is locked, the form to be approved is adjusted to be in a locked state, and if the lock operation type parameter sent by the approval process engine is unlocked, the form to be approved is adjusted to be in an unlocked state.

Taking the lock state adjustment interface with three parameters of the business object identifier, the to-be-approved form identifier and the lock operation type parameter as an example, when the approval process engine adjusts the to-be-approved form to the locked state (or unlocked state), the approval process engine can send the business object identifier of the business object corresponding to the to-be-approved form, the to-be-approved form identifier and the lock operation type parameter with the value of locking (or unlocking) to the lock state adjustment interface so as to call the lock state adjustment interface; when receiving the service object identifier, the to-be-approved form identifier and the lock operation type parameter sent by the approval process engine, the lock state adjustment interface may invoke the service object corresponding to the to-be-approved form according to the service object identifier, control the service object to determine the to-be-approved form based on the approval form identifier, and adjust the to-be-approved form to a locked state (or an unlocked state).

And S208, rejecting the current approval request.

In this embodiment, if the approval form is in the locked state, it means that the data in the form to be approved is in a state that is not allowed to be modified, at this time, even if the approval is passed, the original data of the form to be approved cannot be modified, and even if the form to be approved is adjusted to be in the unlocked state, the original data in the business form to be approved, which is to be modified when the current approval request is generated, may have been modified by other business processes or approval processes; if there are other approval requests corresponding to the form to be approved and not approved yet in the approval process engine, when the other approval requests pass the approval, the original data in the form to be approved is modified, that is, the original data in the business form to be approved to be modified when the current approval request is generated is also modified by other business processes or approval processes, and the current approval request does not need to be processed. Therefore, when the form to be approved is in a locked state, and/or when other approval requests which correspond to the form to be approved and are not approved exist in the approval process engine, the current approval request can be directly rejected, for example, the current approval request can not be processed, and a specific approval notification can be further sent to the terminal generating the current approval request to prompt the waiter that the current approval request submitted by the waiter is rejected.

According to the method for approving the business form, only when the form to be approved is in an unlocked state and there are no other approval requests which are not processed and end for the form to be approved in the approval process engine, the form to be approved requested by the current approval request is approved, and the form to be approved is adjusted to be in a locked state during approval, so that the data in the form to be approved can be prevented from being updated by other business objects except the approval process engine, the situation that the form to be approved is repeatedly approved can be avoided, and the consistency of the data in the form to be approved is ensured.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a structure of an approval apparatus for a business form according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The device can be realized by software and/or hardware, can be configured in electronic equipment, and can be typically configured in computer equipment, a tablet computer or a mobile phone, and can examine and approve the business form by executing an examination and approval method of the business form. As shown in fig. 3, the apparatus for approving a service form provided in this embodiment includes: a determination module 301, an approval module 302, and an update module 303, wherein,

the determining module 301 is configured to determine, when a current approval request is received, to-be-approved data in an to-be-approved form corresponding to the current approval request, where the to-be-approved data is data to be modified from original data in the to-be-approved form;

the approval module 302 is configured to approve the to-be-approved data to generate an approval result;

an updating module 303, configured to update, when the content of the approval result is that the approval is passed, the original data in the to-be-approved form stored in the service database to be target data, where the target data is final approval data obtained by approving the to-be-approved data.

According to the approval device for the business form, when a current approval request is received through a determining module, the approval data in the form to be approved corresponding to the current approval request is determined, the approval data is data to be modified from original data in the form to be approved, the approval module is used for approving the approval data to generate an approval result, and when the content of the approval result is approval pass, the updating module is used for updating the original data in the form to be approved stored in the business database to target data which is finally approved by the approval data. By adopting the technical scheme, the original data in the form to be approved is not updated in the approval process, and the original data is updated into the final approved target data after the approval is completed, so that the accuracy of the business data statistical result can be improved, and the distortion of data statistics is avoided.
