Purchase order Reapproval workflow after generated from Purchase Requisition

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

I have the following scenario:

After purchase requisition approval and PO creation, I want to make sure that the Purchase Order will go for re-approval if the fields unit price and quantity are changed.

Problem:

At the moment ALL PO changes require re-approval, e.g. changes to the  delivery date.

Current Setup:

Workflow enables 

I have  enabled Purchase order workflow setup for PO approvals 

and for requisition I have Purchase requisition workflow enabled 

Purchasing Policy for PO re-approval is active in the relevant company and the values Purchase Order Line Price Unit and Purchase Order Line Quantity are selected to require re-approval. All other fields are not selected.

Workflow for PO automatic actions is set to Purchase Order Requires Re-Approval is value = NO > Auto complete action: Approve. 

Looking at the workflow history of the purchase orders I have tested the workflow seems to ALWAYS evaluate the automatic action to FALSE so that re-approval is required regardless of what fields are being updated.

I am unsure if I am missing something in the policy or the workflow or both? Do I require a purchase order line workflow to make this work?

Thank you!

    Hi, would you mind sharing a screenshot of your purchasing policy rule for reapproval?

    Hi,

    Your setup is correct.

    When you change the delivery date, system should pop up a dialog to overwrite these fields. Please donot check them.

    Please try change the Text field to check if the approval is triggered.

    Hi,

    I've got the same issue with reapproval workflow.

    The workflow is always evaluating the re-approval condition to false.

    Did you find a way to fix it?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    I've set it up as suggested in the link however it looks like the policy or workflow condition is not working as it doesn't matter which field I amend in the PO, the workflow is always evaluating the answer to false ( Purchase Order Requires Re-Approval is value = NO).

    I needed to do this same thing for our business and I have figured it out.

    You will need to update workflow and the purchasing policy.

    1st I created a new policy (in procurement and sourcing -> Setup -> policies -> purchasing policies) naming it something along the lines of automatic PO re-approval for all fields but price and qty.

    Select the organizations you want, then in the policy rules select "Reapproval rule for purchase orders". From there select create policy rule.

    Then for the fields needed in list view find Purchase order lines.Net amount and Purchase order lines.Quantity (I think just net amount would work as qty or price change hits that field, but I selected both just in case). If you do this through tree view they can be found in purchase order lines->project.

    The next thing I did was open the workflow tool. Select the workflow item you want this on, and select automatic actions. Select enable automatic actions, add the condition where "Purchase orders. Requires purchase order re-approval" and make the value = No. Then on the bottom of that screen go to Auto complete action and set to approve. (sorry its not letting me add a print screen).

    From here you then need to activate the workflow that you just created/edited.

    Hope this helps.

    Brian.
