Hi All,

Please let me know how I can identify a new customer creation in business central as an approver? As an approver, segregate approval notifications for a new customer creation alert and a change in existing customers.

I have the same question (0)

    Roger,

    Base BC you can setup the Workflow (standard) for Customer Approval.

    As for a change, you could create your own Workflow depending on the Change you want to workflow. You can also use Power Automate, which offers more flexibility.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Start wizard of "Setup a customer approval workflow" on assisted setup page.
    Choose option "The user changes a specific field".
    pastedimage1631080242012v1.png

    Default setting is "when credit limit is changed".

    "SystemCreatedAt" field or "SysteModifiedAt" field might be useful for your requiement.

    Each customer has a system created datetime - called “Created At”. It’s accessible as a filter condition. You would need to use t.. most likely as the filter. I tried this and it only fires on the new customers.

    A customer record is changed is then a different trigger so another workflow can be setup for that anyway
