Sales Invoice Credit Limit Approval Workflow - Cant Enable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 142

I'm trying to setup the standard "Sales Invoice Credit Limit Approval" workflow but can't enable due to the following error;

"One or more entry-points steps exist that use the same event on table Sales Header. You must specify unique event conditions on entry-point steps that use the same table"

At present we are using standard "Sales Invoice Approval" Workflow (attached enabled workflow) successfully.

Can't both of these workflows run at same time? Do you have to build credit limit check into the existing workflow? Has anyone been able to setup successfully and can point me in the right direction?

This is on BC (SaaS version 15.1).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Appreciate this is a long time after the original post but I was searching for the same answer as we have a client that is currently on NAV 2009 R2 and has both Approval Limits and Credit Limits enabled on Sales Orders.  After searching and finding nothing I resorted to trial and error and stepping through the code.  The best I could come up with is as follows:

    The first line includes a response that creates the approval request for the Approval Limits, in my example I have used Approver and Approver Chain but does not send the approval request for the record.

    The second line (A customer credit limit is exceeded) includes a response that creates the approval request for the Credit Limits, in my example I have used Approver and Specific Approver and also sends the approval request for the record.

    The eighth line (A customer credit limit is not exceeded) has a response that sends the approval request for the record.

    The key is creating the approval request on different lines and ensuring that sending the approval request for the record is only done once.  That is why I do not send the approval request for the record on the first line.

    I have attached the exported workflow.[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/758/Sales-Invoice-Credit-Limit-and-Approval-Limits-Approval-Workflow.xml]

    Is it possible to combine these 2 Workflows in to 1?  I found a post that offers some workarounds:
