[SalesForce] Error when automatically submitting an approval process using code in APEX class – NO_APPLICABLE_PROCESS, No applicable approval process found

I have a trigger which automatically starts an approval process if an Opportunity has its stage updated to 'Closed Won'.

if (o.StageName=='Closed Won') {
    Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
    req.setComments('Submitted for approval. Please approve.');
    req.setObjectId(o.Id);
    Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req);
}

The weird bit – this works fine in my dev environment, but throws the following errors in another sandbox:

System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: NO_APPLICABLE_PROCESS, No applicable approval process found

The IF statement correctly matches the entry criteria of the approval process. The error is highlight on this line: Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req);

Any ideas?

Solved.

Intial Submitters were set to Opportunity Owner.

The difference results experienced between environments was due to Profile differences. One User had Modify All permission on Opportunities and did not receive the error (obviously).

Removed 'Modify All' on Opportunities and added a public group to Intial Submitters.

Thanks for your help.

[SalesForce] Test Class for Approval Process

For anyone interested, I figured out my issue. My Test Class was looking at the Account ID instead of the ID of my newly created custom object (line 32). I changed that line to req1.setObjectId(DS3.Id); and then got an error that the process was already in progress. This mad me realize that I didn't need the approval process creation from lines 29 - 42, since the process was being triggered by my "approve" controller on lines 17 - 21. So I removed lines 29 - 42 and now get 100% coverage. Thanks for the help everyone. Updated Test class is below:

@Istest (SeeAllData=true)
private class TestControllerDealSumm
{
        Account acct3 = TestCreateRecords.createAcct(0);
        insert acct3;

        Opportunity opp3 = TestCreateRecords.createOppNew(acct3.Id);
        insert opp3;

        Summary__c DS3 = new Summary__c();
            DS3.Opportunity__c = opp3.Id;
            DS3.Agreement_Effective_Date__c = date.newinstance(2025,1,31);
            DS3.Net_Payment_Term_Days__c = 60;
            DS3.Auto_Renewal__c = TRUE;
        Insert DS3;

        ApexPages.StandardController Summ1a = new ApexPages.standardController(opp3);
        VF_SummaryController SummCont1a = new VF_SummaryController(Summ1a);
        SummCont1a.DS.add(DS3);
        SummCont1a.Summary();
        SummCont1a.save();


        ApexPages.StandardController Summ3 = new ApexPages.standardController(DS3);
        DSReviewController SummCont3 = new DSReviewController(Summ3);
        SummCont3.myDS = DS3;
        SummCont3.approve();
}

[SalesForce] First exception on row 0; first error: NO_APPLICABLE_PROCESS, No applicable approval process was found

I have solved the two problems. They have nothing to do with 2020 Spring critical update.

For the first one:

"First exception on row 0; first error: NO_APPLICABLE_PROCESS, No applicable approval process was found".

I did not meet the entry criteria for an approval process. A role that uses this approval process was not in the public group in the entry criteria.

For the second error message:

"Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY, XXXXXX: execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND,...... "

This is because I did not grant view privilege to a object for a profile that uses this object in the process.
