Approval Workflows for Requisition Worksheet

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 131
Hello Everyone,

I am seeking guidance on designing and configuring an approval workflow for the Requisition Worksheet In Business Central.
 
I would appreciate your expert advice on the following points:
 
  1. What is the recommended best-practice approach for implementation approval workflows on the requisition worksheet?
  2. Should approval be handled line-by-line, or is it better to add new field such as Document No. and generate only single approval request for each Document No.?
  3. Would it be advisable to add custom fields such as Document Status to control the approval lifecycle and restrict conversion of requisition into Purchase Orders until approval is completed?
  4. Are there any standard workflow events or patterns in Business Central that can be reused, or is fully customization required for this scenario?
Any insights, recommendations, or real-world implementation experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best Regards,
Suketu

    Hello Suketu,
     
    Business Central has no standard approval workflow for the Requisition Worksheet since it’s a planning tool, so some customization is required. Best practice is not line-by-line approval, but to introduce a document layer (Document No.), group lines under it, and trigger one approval per document. Adding a Document Status is recommended to control the lifecycle and block PO creation until approval. Reuse the standard BC workflow/approval engine with custom workflow events rather than building approvals from scratch.

    Hi, 
     
    Just want to understand the reason of enforcing approvals over requisition worksheet or the exact use case or scenario.
     
    You can of course enable the approval over PO
