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:

What filter did you add?

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