getting multiple mails for the same purchase order approval in a workflow ax2009. how do i rectify it?

Posted on by 40

Many of the workflows recently are coming through different times for the same item … sometimes up to 4 times for the same.
Of course I try to only approve 1 time but sometimes I will approve the same multiple times. Can you please confirm that this is captured by the system? Don’t want to have more approved records of the same in the system … and how to rectify the issue so i get only one mail for a single workflow...

    Dear André,

    I really appreciate your response and i believe third point is valid in my case as every duplicate po approval request is from different user.

    thanks again for your guidance.

    Best Regards,

    Monis Saeed.

    Hi Monis,

    There can be various reasons for this.

    1) There is a recent copy of the production database applied on non-production environments which is also sending out the emails.

    2) Line item workflow is a workflow per line. Are you using line item workflows?

    3) A user could have submitted more than one instance. (Click Submit; leave dialog open; click submit again; confirm both. Then there are two instances for the same document.)

    4) Customizations

    Please verify which option may applt to you. Specify more background information if you need more help.
