Triggering approval workflow for Purchase Quotes only when VAT Prod. Posting Group is filled in for all line items.

Posted on by Stanley De Bono 10

Hi,

I wish to trigger approval workflows for Purchase Quotes only when the VAT Prod. Posting Group column is filled in for all line items.

Under Event Condition I use the Filter: Purchase Line <> '' but it does not work and the document gets approved even when the VAT Prod. Posting Group field is empty.

Any suggestions on how to address this please?

Also any pointers to documentation on when and how Filter: Purchase Line condition can be used is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stanley

    Hi,

    Workflow handle purchase order satatus and status is on purchase order *Header* table. So, I think there is no satandard feature to meet your requirement.

    I think you have to do some customize, adding a column on purchase header for trigger workflow, change added column when purchase order line's VAT prod posting group is changed.

    I hope this helps you.

    Hi,

    Did you try this to put the Purchase Line condition?

    Yes I tried this.   The condition was apparently ignored.  

    Under Event Condition I use the Filter: Purchase Line <> '' but still the document gets approved even when the VAT Prod. Posting Group field is empty.

    This poses the question, why are the line item filter conditions available than?  What are they used for please?
