Purchase order approval workflow (PurchTableTemplate) - how to disable the workflow submit dialog?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Sebastian Aurand 1,650

Hello,

we are using the standard Microsoft puchase order approval workflow (PurchTableTemplate). My requirement is to turn of clicking two times on a "Submit" button when starting a purchase order approval workflow. Here is the current behaviour:

First the user submits the workflow in the purchase order form:

After this automatically the "submit dialog" opens with the possibility to enter a comment and the user again has to close this with clicking the second time on a "submit" button:

8054.PurchWorkflow02.jpg

Is there a possibility how I can turn of / get rid of the second dialog with the comment (because our customer don't needs the comment)?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian, I think its not controlled by workflow configuration, so customization would be required. You can add breakpoint on init method of WorkflowWorkItemActionDialog form and debug to get more details.

    Thanks for the answer. I debugged the PurchTableWorkflow class which calls the dialog:

    How could I achieve via code extension that the dialog does not open but the workflow is started?

    Hi Sebastian, One way is to create extension class and bypass standard condition. However, please note that its not recommended approach by Microsoft as any future updates on that method will be missing on your extended method and you have to manually copy it. (I tried re-factoring standard code and tested so not sure if it will work)

        public void  submit()
    {
        PurchTable purchTableLocal = purchTable; //mapping table buffer
        WorkflowSubmitDialog            workflowSubmitDialog;
        purchTable = null;
        
        next submit();
        purchTable = purchTableLocal;

        if (purchTable != null)
        {
            // Tax is needed to be calculated first or else the Accounting Distribution allocation factor will not be calculated correctly.
            PurchTotals::newPurchTable(purchTable).calc();
              
            if (this.canSubmit(purchTable))
            {
                purchTable.submitToWorkflow(workFlowTypeStr(PurchTableTemplate), workflowSubmitDialog.parmWorkflowComment(), false);
            }
        }
    }
