posting purchase invoice with allocation account lines

Posted on by gnlca 22
Hi everyone,
On BC on cloud, I have an approval workflow for purchase invoices. The workflow brings the purch. invoices to the status /released/ when they are approved. Then I have the standard batch report for posting the purch. invoices with status /released/ which runs in the job queue.
 
For purch. invoice with allocation account lines, I get the following error msg:
 
 
I have to stop the approval workflow and reopen the invoice in order to succesfully post it.
Would anybody know why it is not possible to post an approved purch. invoice in the status /released/ ?
 
Thank you and best regards,

    Hi
    This happens because it must recreate the purchase lines, and since it must create new purchase lines, it performs a standard validation to verify that the document is open.
     
    It seems like a bug to me, I have not been able to find if there is any validation that skips it, with some coding so that this verification by code can be skipped could be analyzed.
    Best regards

    If system needs to have Document Open - it means, it is trying to do some changes in the document. And if You try to post it, but system will do some changes before posting - it is really weird - that You don't know what will actually be posted.
    Please re-check Your approval workflow - is it ok ? 
     
    And if this is just for Allocation Account lines - how are You entering these? Have You done any customization there?

    Hi All
     
    Were we able to find a workaround without updating the code or has Microsoft responded to be working on further updates for this?
     
    Would appreciate your feedback in this matter. Its an audit client so trying to find the best approach with adding custom code. 
     
    Thank You
