シナリオ
GoGoRoad stakeholders want to allow Territory Managers to add new vendors as service providers as the service grows. If the vendor is The Automobile Association (TAA), which has an existing relationship with GoGoRoad, the Add Vendor case is routed to the Manager of the Territory Manager for approval. If the vendor is not TAA, the Add Vendor case type is then routed to a Director for a second approval. Add an Approval step to the Add Vendor case type to support the described behavior.
