Approvers Not Users in BC

Hi:

If you are to be an approver in a purchase order approval workflow, do you have to have a user ID in Business Central?  And, if so, can you have simply a Team Member license?

Thanks!

John

    If you use Power Automate then you don’t have to be a BC user. For BC approvals you do need to be a user. Try this for the power automate route: https://youtu.be/THZeSnH-agc

    Hi, yes, you need a user ID.

    But if you use standard feature of BC Workflow, you can use Teams Member License to approve or reject tasks.

    More details:

    Hi John,

    If a user have a BC Team Member license, the user can become a user of BC and approve BC workflows. If a user do not have a BC Premium, BC Essential, or BC Team Member license, a user can use Power Automate to approve BC workflows.

    A blog post I wrote in the past may help.
