Invoking approval process from apex trigger

Hi,

 

I am encountering the following error when trying to invoke an approval process from a trigger. 

 

changeAmounts: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: ALREADY_IN_PROCESS, Cannot submit object already in process.: Trigger.changeAmounts: line 11, column 41

 

Here is the trigger code. I have tried several variations always with the same result. I have confirmed there is not an active approval process for the record.

 

trigger changeAmounts on Opportunity (after update) {

Opportunity opp;
opp = Trigger.old[0];

if (Trigger.old[0].Amount <> Trigger.new[0].Amount) {

       Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
       req1.setComments('Submitting request for approval.');
       req1.setObjectId(opp.id);
       Approval.ProcessResult result1 = Approval.process(req1);

    }

}

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

you are missing setNextApproverIds method.
 
Also check that opp.id is not null.
 
check for reference
