Purchase Order Approval Workflow - Controlling which fields trigger re-approval if changed

Posted on by 5

We are running GP 18.4 and using PO Approval Workflow.  We would like to be able to change the Promised Ship Date on the line detail screen without triggering a re-approval of the PO.  Can I control which fields trigger re-approval?

    I don't know of an easy way of doing this, at least we haven't ever given out any steps or process to do this that I'm aware, so my thoughts are it'd be more a Dexterity modification than simply making a change to a property in VB Editor or something like that.

    See if the Community has attempted this and can share their thoughts.....

    Otherwise, almost need to run a Script Debugger or SQL Profiler/dexsql.log to see what procedure or bit of code is being run when attempting to save the change on a completed workflow, then go from there.

    The closest I could find is the SetChangeFlag property on this Promised Ship Date field you mentioned, which is what prompts the user whether or not they are sure they want to save changes or not. This property may be part of it as it tells GP you need to save the item when you close the window, but Dex may override any changes forcing us to resubmit and reapprove anyway.

    Thanks
