Best Way to Manage Approvals Within Blueprint Stages?

Best Way to Manage Approvals Within Blueprint Stages?

Hi,

I am working on a requirement involving Blueprint and approval logic in Zoho CRM and would appreciate some guidance.

I understand that approval processes do not trigger when a record is currently within a blueprint, which makes it challenging to implement an approval process during stage transitions.

My requirement is as follows:
  1. When a deal reaches the negotiation stage, the user enters a Requested Discount.
  2. If the discount is higher than 5%, it should require approval from a superior before proceeding further.
Since the record is already inside a blueprint at this stage, the approval process does not get triggered.

I would like to know if there are any recommended workarounds to handle approval logic within a blueprint. I came across the following discussion which explains the limitations and suggests mimicking approvals within a blueprint:

However, I am still unsure about the best way to implement this in a clean manner.

Any suggestions or examples would be really helpful.

Thanks.
