Printing order Approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bastien 90

Hi all,

We have set up the approving process in my company in order to control the purchase order for a cashflow issue.

However, even though the purchaser now need to request an approval for:

- posting the order

- Receiving the goods

- Receiving invoice

They don't need any approval to print a "not approved order". This mean that they can send to the supplier the printing order and then received the goods... The approval process is then useless.

My question is then the following: how can we make Nav authorise printing only if the order has been approved?

Thank you & have a good day,

Bastien

    I don't know what NAV version you use, but there is not possible by standard. You can make small customization on order document. You can add Status field before order text with option Pending Approval or Released. I think this is enough.

    You can also make customization on document printing, if Status=Pending Approval, then you print empty lines. This is no to hard, but it need some development. The best way is to ask this from your partner.

    Hi All,

    Here the solution for my problem. I am using Microsoft Dynamic Development Environment (software), once you try to design your report (PO in my case), go in the tab on top call "View" and then "C/AL Code".

    There you have a page code poping up and you write the following :

    IF (Status = Status::"Pending Approval") OR (Status = Status::Open) OR (Status = Status::"Pending Prepayment") THEN BEGIN

     ERROR('Purchase Order must be approved before printing');

    END ELSE BEGIN

    WRITE This above just after this here under:

    Purchase Header - OnAfterGetRecord()

    CurrReport.LANGUAGE := Language.GetLanguageID("Language Code");

    CompanyInfo.GET;

    Thank you for your help!
