Customer \ Vendor Creation Workflows in 2016

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi , 

I am in the process of setting up couple of workflows using the standard templates available within MS NAV 2016 , but could not find a mechanism readily available for customer \ vendor creations. Where my requirement is pretty much straight forward and all  I need to do is trigger an approval for customer \ vendor creation within NAV.

Really appreciate if someone could enlighten me on this .

Thanks

    Hi,

    You can create the customer creation approval using the workflow template "Customer Approval Workflow" which is available under Sales and Marketing in Workflow Template.

    As you mentioned there is no mechanism readily available for Vendor creations using Workflow Template. You can create the Vendor creation workflow by creating a new workflow instead of using the New Workflow from Template function. You have to define the "When Event", "On Condition" and "Then Response" on your own. There is already an event called "Approval of a vendor is requested." is available. With this you can do the rest by applying the similar pattern which is in Customer Approval Workflow.

    Hope this would help you to trigger an approval for customer/vendor creation. Let me know if you want more support on this.

    Best Regards

    Ilamaran Sivarajah

    Hi,

    You are right, vendor/customer creation approval triggers aren't part of Standard NAV templates. But you can create new Workflows.

    Also, you can write events/workflows to trigger if it is way complex or customized.

    You can start here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt574349(v=nav.90).aspx

    Hope it helps.
