Approval workflow

Posted on by 20

We are actually using Dynamics Nav 2017 and making use of the approval workflow.

Invoices received are for different departments. Is it possible for 1 user to send request for approval to different approvers of these departments?

    Thanks for your mail.

    Could you share again your 1st print screen. It is not clearly visible.

    Thanks

    We use the "Purchaser Code" to direct the approval to the correct approver. You can set this code on the Vendor card which will then provide a default for all documents for that vendor, but the person who is pushing the "Request Approval" button can change the Purchaser code when needed.

    We use these 2 workflows:

    Hello,

    Creating Approval Workflows by a Department Dimension or something like that requires some customization to build this rule out. What Yun sent is the correct Workflow Group setup and flow, but you are adding the complexity for Department rules. I would talk to your Partner to add a customization to assist.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    You can add more filters and based on that approval can be send to respective user.

    Thank You

    Thanks for your mail.

    However, I am not sure it will work.

    See below the scenario that I am looking for a solution.

    I have 2 invoices that have to be approved, one by approver A and the other one by approver B. It is the same user who will send the approval request of the 2 invoices to the different approvers.

    How to setup this?

    Thanks
