DAX 2009 invoice approval workflow issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sasha 815

I’m trying to setup an hierarchy based assignment for an invoice approval journal workflow.

 

When I go to the WF configuration assignment form, I choose hierarchy based option, and then in the combo ‘start from’ there is a list:

1)      approved by

2)      Rejected by

3)      Reported as ready by

4)      …..

5)      …..

 

I choose, start from ‘approved by’. Then I fill in ledgerJournalTable.ApprovedBy field with a user ID and submit a journal for a workflow.

 

Then I get an error message ‘Stopped (error): Employee not found.  Verify that the user has an employee ID code.’

 

I assume, that probably the field ‘approved by’ in the WF configuration refers to another field in the journal.

 

Anyway, can anybody suggest how to correctly use this feature (hierarchy based assignment) in the invoice approval journal workflow configuration?

 

Any ideas much appreciated.

 

Sasha.

    Hi,

    According to the error message, the user is no assigned to an employee. Verify that all users in the hierarchy haves an employee relation in all companies.

    1. Administration > Commons forms > Users 
    2. For every user
      1. Button > User Relation
      2. Tab > General
      3. Check that the field employee is filled

     Best regards,

    Well, everything is ok with the users and employees, I use the hierarchy based assignment in the same company in the Purchase requisition process.

    I start from the requisitioner and everything is working as it supposes to.But in the invoice approval journal with the same users, employees and setup it doesn’t. It seems like ledgerJournalTable.ApprovedBy field is not the one WF runtime takes into account when processes hierarchy based assignment for invoice approval journal WF configuration. 

    Any further ideas?

    Kind regards,Sasha.

    Issue solved.

    Field approvedBy should be added to the DS of the underlying WF document query.
