Purchase order is getting released without approval - work flow has been setup

Hi all,

For one of our clients using NAV 2016, we have setup purchase order workflows.

The expectation is, a purchase order must get released only after a PO is approved.

But in few cases, it is possible to release the PO (MANUALLY BY CLICKING ON RELEASE BUTTON) even without an approval in which case the work flow which has been setup becomes meaningless.

There is no mistake with the configuration, as the workflow works fine for the other POs.

Is there any reason for this.

Has any body faced the same situation? Is there any standard resolution?

Thanks for the support in advance.

Regards

Sriram

Hello Sriram,

one thing you can check is if you have still the Record Restriction for this Purchase Order under Restricted Records page (you can search for it on the client).

If somebody removed this accidentally for this specific Record Restriction, any user can Release that Purchase Order manually.

Could it be for this reason?
