Hi:
Is there any way around the fact that an end user has to approve an A/P voucher before it can be posted, when GP Workflow is in place and that voucher has been submitted for approval?

Hi John,
You can update the Workflow_Status field to a 6 for completed in the header table for whatever module you are in. In this case that would be the PM10000 for transactional Workflow, and SY00500 for batch.
This can also be set to a 1 if something messed up during the workflow and you need to start it over.
This all said, this does basically undo the entire point to having the workflow in the first place.
Thanks!
Hi Justin:
Thank you, for the quick response.
The thing is that the users are concerned that, if they implement A/P Workflow, they will no longer be able to post batches on weekends or prior to vacations until someone approves the vouchers the following Monday. That's a huge concern to them, from a business proces standpoint.
Hello John,
Workflow is designed to not be worked around. It is there to make sure those that need to make decisions can.
The situation they described can worked around depending on how they want to use workflow (making sure there are enough WF managers to always have one available, using the WF emails to approve out of GP, Using Workflow Delegation prior to vacations). That said, they need to understand that Workflow is designed to be an "always there" item for security/audit reasons, and it usually needs to be built into how their normal business operates.
