PO Workflow Approval - Is there a condition to not resend through approval when $$ amount is less than original approval?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

I am working with a client that is using Business Central PO workflow approvals.  Often times they get an invoice for less $$ amount than originally approved.  The only way they can modify the $$'s is to reopen the PO and then send it back through the approval process.  The PO is using a GL Account not inventory items.and they receive and invoice at one time.

Is there any way to not require a new approval if the $$ amount is less than originally approved amount?  It is fine if the $$ amount is greater than the amount approved to go back through workflow approval process.

I suggested using the QTY to be the $$ amount and the $$ to be $1.00 since you can reduce the QTY without needing approval.  They would prefer to not do this.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I would at power automate instead. At least there you pass off the data elsewhere. So you could store that an approval for that document has been done and check it. Place to retrieve this data can be BC as you could do a web service call to the approval entries for that document no.

    Much more flexibility in the process flow with power automate compared to internal BC workflow.
