Hi JPB,

Can you tell us what exactly you did set up yourself so far? What is the exact behavior when you mention that it is not working? Do you get error messages? Are you able to submit a journal to the workflow or not?

- Did you create a workflow configuration for the general journal?

- Is the workflow version active?

- Did you provide the workflow configuration on the journal name and activated the approval workflow on the journal name?

- Is the workflow processing batch job enabled and running periodically?

Which Dynamics application are you using? Your workflow configuration screenshot doesn't look like Finance & Operations.

Hi JPB,

Looking at the screenshots you shared, it is obvious you are using Dynamics 365 Business Central. I moved your question now to the correct forum (instead of Dynamics 365 Finance).

Hi everyone, o don't like to leave this topic open. So what I did?
I create a journal entry batch, not a journal entry per line
I set up some conditions , as validate the journal entry is balance and send to a specific approver, now is working GOOD.

The problem is with the serial number, How can I do to update it automatically after the journal entry was approved and not to have to go over the workflow again??
