Workflows: avoid approval when Sales Order paid

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 120

We have a workflow set up so that it sends approval requests for Sales Orders above a certain value ($100k). These Sales Orders are normally for multiple units and have an associated pre-payment invoice. The issue is, after the pre-payment invoice is paid we can start shipping. This is done in batches through the Sales Order. However, whenever the shipping team open/release for a new batch shipment, it sends the Sales Order off for re-approval. What kind of filter might we put on the Workflow or amendment so that once it has been approved once, it doesn't keep ending re-approval?

The current trigger looks like this:

    Once a prepayment has been posted the field "Last Prepayment No." is populated. Perhaps your filter could be as simple as "Last Prepayment No." = ''

    We tested this but it seems to cancel the approval workflow in its entirety.

    Are you saying that nothing goes through approval now?

    What filter did you add?

    This cancelled the need for an approval
