Hi,

I have a workflow set on Accounts Payable Payment Journal. The workflow has 2 stages. 1st stage is approved.

I want to approve the 2nd stage (Also I'd like to know how to approve on only 1 stage at time or both stages together)

Here's my code:

static void Job61(Args _args)
{
    LedgerJournalTable ljt;
    LedgerJournalCheckPost post;
    WorkflowWorkItemTable workflowWorkItemTable;

    while select ljt where ljt.JournalNum=='XYZ-001'
    {

       while select workflowWorkItemTable where
            (workflowWorkItemTable.Type == WorkflowWorkItemType::WorkItem) &&
            (workflowWorkItemTable.Status == WorkflowWorkItemStatus::pending) &&
            workflowWorkItemTable.RefRecId == ljt.RecId &&
            workflowWorkItemTable.RefTableId == ljt.TableId
        {
            info(int642str(workflowWorkItemTable.RecId));
            
          WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(
                                workflowWorkItemTable,
                                "Approved via X++ on Mr. ABC's Request",
                                curUserId(),
                                WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Complete,
                                "LedgerJournalTable5",
                                false);
        }

    }
}

I'm getting this error on running it:

I also tried changing

'LedgerJournalTable5' to 'WorkflowConfigurationVend'

Right clicking and personalizing the workflow:

Any tips appreciated.

Hi Crispin,

Thanks for you tips.

This was the first time I dealt with workflow from Code. So wasn't aware about the structure.

My mistake was, I was giving the wrong menu-item name in the code in Original Post, after fixing, it worked perfect, I didn't had to make any other changes whatsoever. First I tried 'LedgerJournalTable5' which is a form name, then I right clicked on workflow in workflow list page and got 'WorkflowConfigurationVend' which was also wrong.

The correct menu item name was obtained from AOT > Workflow > Approvals > VendDisbursementApproval > Outcomes > Approve

which is 'PaymVendDisbWFApprApprove'

Since my workflow steps have single approver, here's the final code:

static void Job61(Args _args) { LedgerJournalTable ljt; WorkflowWorkItemTable workflowWorkItemTable;
while select ljt where ljt.JournalNum == 'Your Condition' {
// firstonly for Single Approver while select firstOnly workflowWorkItemTable where (workflowWorkItemTable.Type == WorkflowWorkItemType::WorkItem) && (workflowWorkItemTable.Status == WorkflowWorkItemStatus::Pending) && workflowWorkItemTable.RefRecId == ljt.RecId && workflowWorkItemTable.RefTableId == ljt.TableId { WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction( workflowWorkItemTable, "Approved via X++ on Mr. ABC's Request", curUserId(), WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Complete, "PaymVendDisbWFApprApprove", false); } } }

NOTE!!!:

After running this Job, we have to wait for some time (~1-2 mins, depends) before you can see the change in the WorkFlow history tracking details:

I didn't wait earlier and thought my Job was not working so I ran it multiple times which resulted into Approving multiple times with multiple assignees even though it has a SINGLE APPROVER setting.

Do you think I should add something like this to the completed method? Will have to replace salestable with ledgerjournaltable/trans

completed(WorkflowEventArgs _workflowEventArgs) { SalesTable SalesTable; ttsbegin; select forupdate SalesTable where SalesTable.RecId == _workflowEventArgs.parmWorkflowContext().parmRecId(); if (salesTable.CreditLimitApprovalStatus == SalesCreditLimitApprovalStatus::Submitted) { SalesTable.CreditLimitApprovalStatus = SalesCreditLimitApprovalStatus::Approved; SalesTable.update(); } ttscommit; }

I got this code from here:

[View:https://ax2012anant.blogspot.com/2014/01/workflow-in-ax-2012-complete.html?m=1:750:50]

Can you suggest some good technical resource to study the workflow design architecture?

I didn't find anything relevant in AOT > WorkFlow > Tasks > ...

But I found in AOT > WorkFlow > Approvals > VendDisbursementApproval

LedgerJournalWFApprEventHandlerElem.Completed() is empty while it's other methods do have code.

Thanks Crispin,

Can you explain what you mean by "so select the menu item again"?
