Team Member Approval Error

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

Hello,

We have a client who would like to have managers approve Purchase Quotes as part of abPurchase Requisition Process.  Since this will be the only task with Business Central, we were going to use the Team Member license.

Based on the available Microsoft documentation that is out there, it looks like this should be possible to have a team member user license approve a task as part of an approval process. Here is what is stated in the Team Member permission documentation:

- Approve or reject tasks in all workflows assigned to the user

However, when we tested a Team Member license approving a task, here is the error we are receiving:

To make this financially viable, we need to be able to use the Team Member license.  How do we do this?

    Ultimately, we narrowed the issue down to the automated workflow that immediately creates a Purchase Order once the Purchase Quote approval occurs.  Microsoft, it appears, believes that is a misuse of the Team Member license since a Team Member is not allowed to create a Purchase Order.  Therefore, they are giving us this error.

    We have essentially solved this by separating these functions and first approving the Purchase Quote, which the Team Member is allowed to do, and then 3 minutes later running a job to create the Purchase Orders from approved Purchase quotes.  It’s essentially the same result but takes 3 minutes longer.
