Issue with Workflow Approval for Movement Journal Remaining in Submitted Status in Dynamics 365

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I am currently working on a workflow configuration in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and would like your assistance regarding an issue we are encountering.

Business Requirement:
We have implemented a workflow approval process for movement journals. The expectation is that once the journal is submitted and approved, its status should be updated accordingly (e.g., Approved/Posted depending on the configuration).

Current Issue:

  • After submitting the movement journal, the workflow is triggered as expected.
  • The workflow does not return any errors during execution.
  • However, even after completing the approval process, the journal remains in Submitted status.
  • The status does not change to Approved or proceed to the next step as expected.

Questions / Support Needed:

  1. What could be the possible reasons for a workflow remaining in Submitted status despite no visible errors?
  2. Are there any common misconfigurations in workflow setup (e.g., approval step, completion policy, or activation settings) that might cause this behavior?
  3. How can we debug or trace workflow execution to identify where the process is getting stuck?
  4. Is there any required configuration or code-related step to ensure the status transitions correctly after approval?

Additional Context:

  • Workflow has been activated and assigned correctly.
  • Users involved in the approval process have the appropriate roles/permissions.
  • No errors are visible in the workflow history or batch job logs.

We would appreciate detailed guidance or troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your support.

    Hello,

    The system may not be running the workflow.
    Please check if the workflow configuration and if batchs job are activated: https://technologyblog.rsmus.com/technologies/microsoft/troubleshooting-workflow-d365/
