A/P Invoice Workflow Releasing Prior to Approval ????? Weird....

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi:

Upon choosing to release an A/P invoice, I receive a message saying that approval must be rendered based on the workflow that is in place.

That's great. 

What's not great is that Business Central is releasing the invoice immediately, when I click the button to send the approval request.  Why is it releasing prior to approval?  That makes no sense.

Thanks!

John

    hi, 

    are you using a customised flow, or just the default one, if it is a customised one, can u send sreenshot.

    Disregard....I fixed this by clicking on "Add Record Restriction" for the workflow's "Add Record Restriction" response and changing the "Create an approval request" record from using "Salespers./Purchaser Code" to "Approver".
