PO Approval Workflow - Without unique condition on PO header

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ew98000 229

Hi, is it possible to configure PO approval workflow so that the unique conditions exist on the po line but not the po header? Currently, if the conditions are the same on the po header but the line conditions are different, it is not possible to enable both workflows:

One or more entry-point steps exist that use the same event on table Purchase Header. You must specify unique event conditions on entry-point steps that use the same table.

What if customer wants to have different workflow for different line conditions?

Thanks

    Hi

    you have to create different streams for different line conditions

    if I'm understanding your reply correctly, you are saying to use different line conditions in the different workflows. I have done this. However, the issue is that BC does not allow the header conditions to be the same for the 2 workflows.

    To elaborate on the requirement, a company wants to create a PO to multiple dimensions and g/l accounts and send for approval. I don't think there is a way to do this because these criteria are on the PO line. BC only permits having multiple workflow for the same document if the header is different.

    Would appreciate if someone could confirm my understanding.

    Secondly, does creating PO's described above sound like a good business practice? Would it be better to have a single PO per dimension and g/l account?

    Appreciate any thoughts, thanks.

    Hi Earle,

    yes out of the box as far as i can tell its not possible to create such a workflow. it would only be possible to do with customization, the other option is to use power automate rather than BC workflows. there is a good guide here: joshanglesea.wordpress.com/.../
