Sales Order Credit Limit Approval Workflow - can't release

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by MMcdowell

First time trying to setup this workflow. I created a new workflow from the "Sales Order Credit Limit Approval Workflow" template. No changes made to the workflow.

When I go to release a sales order where the order amount does not put them over the credit limit, it gives me this error:

I can sucessfully use "Request approval" and it releases the order. But the behaviour I would expect is that since order amount < available credit, it should allow me to use the release action.

Here is the approval entry created by sending it for approval

Hi,

When the workflow was created, did you copy a template or it was created from scratch (I do recommend to use the template) ?

As it seems there is a missing response to "Remove Record restriction" and "Release the document" (Check that on the screenshot, I copied the default Sales Order Approval)

Good Morning,

As soon as you enable a workflow you need to "Request Approval" for every sales order. When the amount it below the limit, it will auto-approve, like in your example.

As Omar already added you then need to have the responses to "Remove Record restriction" and "Release the document". When the approval request is auto-approved the document then also gets released.

Hi Omar, yes I did use the template. Which includes both the responses "remove record restriction" and "release the document".

Using the request approval does work, meaning it automatically sets it to released if the customer still has available credit. For some reason I remember in older versions of NAV that using other work flows- I could use the release action and if the values were less then what's set on the approval user setup, it would either release or tell me that I need to request approval. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.

Thanks Katrin. That sucks - I wish there was a way to get in front of the work flow so that if the customer has available credit you can release it, but if the customer was going to exceed credit with the order it would tell you that you need to iniate the approval process.
