No entries being generated in Posted Approval Entries using Business Central Approval Workflows

Posted on by Craig Day 55

Hello,

We are testing various approval workflows in Business Central using standard Business Central workflow functionality. The approvals work, however, there are no entries being generated in the Posted Approval Entries table. We have tested with multiple types of approvals (Customer Approval, Purchase Invoice Approval) and none of these generate any entries in the Posted Approval Entries table.

Have we missed a setup option somewhere or has Business Central functionality changed so that approval history is no longer written to this table?

We are on the latest available version of Business Central.

    Hi, Craig, thank you very much for the information, so if both Standard Workflow and PowerAutomate flow are enabled, the standard flow will not work?

    I will test it recently.

    Thanks.

    After further testing, we are now seeing entries for some reason. We had been experimenting with both Power Automate and standard Business Central workflows and we suspect that somehow this prevented the entries being generated. After disabling all the Power Automate flows, we can no longer replicate the issue.
