Purchase Requisition workflow by cost centre

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 151

We are currently on AX2009 and here we have workflow configured by cost centre and we use user groups to process the approval. We are implementing D365 and believed we would be able to do the same. However in D365 the financial dimension is no longer available on the purchase requisition header and therefore we are struggling to understand how we can achieve the flow we require.

Example of how this works in AX2009

Users enters PR with Cost centre IT on the header and this is filtered through to the lines, Submit

This will move to the IT cost centre owners for approval if the total value on the PR is below 50k - User Group created and users assigned

If above 50k and under 100k it will move to the head of IT and so on - Users Group Created

The authority limits would apply for the whole PR as we only create PRs for 1 cost centre at a time.

In D365 as the cost centre is no longer on the header this will have to go through line approval which adds additional work.

Therefore I would like to ask how we can configure this in D365?

We have looked at some options with using the purpose field but we are no keen as each site/cost centre combination would have to be setup and this is not directly linked to the cost centre so could cause errors. We cannot use Hierarchies as anyone in the business can raise a PR for spend for another department, so the only way have to control this is for the PR to be directed to the cost centre manager/managers.

Any advice on this will be appreciated.

    Hi Resh P,

    I think the hierarchy is one of the viable solution, and if for some reason you can't use it, maybe you need to consider doing some customization.

    Hi Will

    Thanks for your response, unfortunately the hierarchy will not work as it is cost centre based and it is possible for someone to raise a PR for another cost centre and in some cases we also use Brand which is another financial dimension.

    Have you had a customisation created for this if so have you added the financial dimension on the header?

    Thanks

    Reshma
