Approval Flow for purchase orders

Posted on by NG-08051147-0 14
We want to use the Business Central approval flow for purchase orders. However, we also have the Continia add-on for Document Capture of purchase invoices.
When setting up a standard BC approval flow for the purchase orders, the flow cannot be executed because it refers to the Continia Document Capture functionalities for the purchase invoice approval.
We definitely want to keep both functions (BC and Continia) seperated, especially because we want to set-up more BC approval flows that are not available in Continia. Did someone else encounter this issue that 2 seperate applications are mixed up?

    The filter should be in here, if you don't see it, try to add it:

    There is no filter available: it only states "purchase invoices".

    If you go to workflows and open the invoice workflow, is the document type filter = invoice only? Or does it not have a filter, or perhaps the filter is both invoice and order?

    In the PO when we click on following button
     
    This is the response
     
    However, the approval flow applicable for the PO is a standard workflow in NAV. The message regarding "check the LEVERANCIERS TYPE-values" is a Continia procedure for processing purchase invoices. For the processing/approving of purchase invoices via Continia Document Capture, we were obliged to use a dimension set to seperate the different approval flows per type of purchase invoice (trade goods, IT, HR, Transport, ...).

    Can you expand on the error you have, perhaps most a screenshot? I have seen environments using out of the box purchase order approval workflows that were using Continia Document Capture as well.
