Purchase Order Workflow

Hi Guys,

I need some advice on an issue.

I have both Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Order workflows enabled.

When a requisition is fully approved we generate a purchase order. The problem is that the Purchase Order generated from the requisition is automatically submitted to the approver.

What needs to happen is that when I open the Purchase Order, I should be able to review, then submit however when the purchase order is opened, it already has a status of pending user action for the required approver.

Is this how it's supposed to work or is something wrong with my setup?

If you haven't already gotten the answer on this, this is how it will work if you have both the Purchase Requisition Approval and Purchase Order Approval workflows activated in the company database.

Once a requisition is final approved/completed, so it requires no further approval from the Workflow setup, once you then convert it into a PO, it will be pushed through the PO approval workflow. Whether or not it requires approval from the PO Approval workflow would depend on the approval conditions setup within.

There's no functionality to bypass the PO approval workflow if it is active in a company database, regardless of whether the PO is from a requisition that previously went through the requisition workflow or not.

Thanks
