Weekly Dynamic: R2 Workflow Non-Approval Workflow Steps

So let’s keep exploring the new Workflow in R2. A reminder, GP’s workflow was rewritten from scratch in R2 removing any dependency on Sharepoint. Workflow is an approval workflow and they weren’t kidding when they said that.


Here’s a scenario:


If Buyer = Joe and Subtotal


If Buyer = Joe and Subtotal is between 5,000 and 10,000 send to Ralph for approval.


If Buyer = Joe and Subtotal >10,000 send to Sandy for approval.


You’d think that you could do a single branch of if Buyer = Joe as a first step and then do sub-steps for the approval but it doesn’t work that way. If you set it up that way someone has to approve Joe as the buyer before it goes out to the next approver. That’s not what people normally want. You can’t have a workflow step that doesn’t include an approval.


What you have to do is setup the steps as described above with each step as 1st step. It works just fine but it is clunky to setup. It’s clunkier too if you have a final approval step for accounting attached to each step too.


Workflow works fine, but there is some room for improvement. Just remember, you can’t have a workflow step without an approval. With that you’ll be fine.

Fastpath User Group Day

If you’re arriving at the GPUG Summit Tuesday morning, the events don’t start until that evening so you’ve got time to checkout the fantastic Fastpath User Group Day (FPUG). Fastpath is offering sessions around Fastpath’s governance, security and audit tools along with a free help desk.


Find out more and register via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fastpath-user-group-day-for-microsoft-dynamics-ax-crm-gp-nav-users-tickets-11992867991 


I’m a huge fan of Fastpath’s products. I’ve used them as controller and recommended them to lots of companies. I’m going to try to make at least part of FPUG before I get sucked into the GPUG speaking vortex.
