When a sub workflow is created and selected a previous workflow, how the Document key field value is determined ? I already select the work flow but I doubt how to configure that field.

Thanks

Hi Ernesto,

Can you also tell which main workflow you are using? If I read it correctly, you are trying to use the purchase order line workflow as sub?

Hi André

Yes, the sub is Purchase order line work flow. The Main work flow is Purchase requisition review.

Hi Ernesto,

There is at the moment of approving purchase requisitions no purchase order or lines, so these workflows are not related. For the line item workflow you need to take purchase requisition line approval. This is also not a sub, but a line item workflow.

I have seen some sub workflows in an ISV solution. I don't know by heart if there is any supported within standard AX.

ISV is a vertical solution for AX2012 ?? So I understand that purchase requisitions and purchase order or lines are unrelated, but when a Requisition is converted into a purchase order, at which point the relationship is established in the general work flow?

Thanks

Hi Ernesto,

ISV is indeed an add-on for AX2012. Once a requisition has been approved you can create a purchase order. Then another, separate workflow can be used for the purchase order document, eventually with the PO line item workflow.

Hi André

Thank you for all your help. If I do the correct procedure for setting sub workflows, when a sub workflow is created and selected a previous workflow, how the Document key field value is determined ?

If these two functions can be nested workflows What is the difference in these functions ?

Thanks again.
