Workflow & Document Attachment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

It appears that the settings in the Document Attachment Setup window are not working as I would think they should for master records.  Flow & Not Flow work fine at the transaction level.  So when I select to Allow attachments to Flow from a master record to the document (transaction), it does indeed work and all the attachments from the master record are also attached to the invoice.  And when I select Not Flow it does not flow any attachments from the master record to the document, which again is correct. 

However, when marked to Not Flow, it also does not email any attachments when the master record is submitted for approval in the workflow.  So there appears to be no difference between leaving the box marked to Allow attachments to flow from the master record window along with Not Flow and unmarking the box altogether for master record attachments.  We've tested on GP2015 R2 - anybody else run into this, hear of a fix or have a work around?

    The feature to submit Document Attach attachments in your workflows for approval or otherwise was added in GP 2016. I don't know that what you are looking for will work in GP 2015 R2 nor do I think there's a workaround that doesn't involve some sort of customization, but perhaps another reason to update your system to GP 2016.

    Thanks for your response.  The functionality actually is in GP2015 & we are manually going into each attachment for the vendor to the Attachment Properties window (blue arrow) after the vendor is initially approved in the workflow to mark Not Flow for those attachments so they do not flow through to all the invoices for that vendor, but when the vendor is edited & resubmitted for approval, those documents have to be marked to Flow if they need to be attached to the email for that vendor resubmission.  A hassle, but a work-around none the less...
