Aprroval for Invoice have due date greater than 100 days

Question

Hi all!
I would like to create query to approve for Invoice have due date greater than 100 days.
SELECT 'true' from OINV  where max(datediff(day, OINV.docduedate, getdate()))>100 and OINV.docstatus ='O' and  cardcode = $[$4.0.0] group by cardcode
It's not working. Can you help me!
Thanks!

Hi Tien,
Hopefully not trying to teach you how to suck eggs here, but it looks like the query is doing too much. There shouldn't be a need to perform a "GROUP BY" in a query to dictate if an approval is to be triggered or not, only the criterai to make it happen.
For examle, the following code will send a transaction for approval if the customers code equals a specific reference.....
SELECT 'TRUE' FROM ORDR T0 WHERE ${ORDR.CardCode} = 'ABC001'
If you're wanting a query to just return a boolean answer based on the date criteria, you might want to try adapting your query to something like.......
SELECT 'true' from OINV where max(datediff(day, ${OINV.docduedate}, getdate()))>100 and ${OINV.docstatus} ='O' and  cardcode = ${$4.0.0}
(As an additional tip, in order to test a query that you're wanting to use as either a formatted search or approval type selection, when in the transaction, if you locate the relevant saved query under "Tools > Queries > User Queries" etc, where you have references to specific fields e.g. ${ORDR.CardCode}, this will pick up the values from the current record and give you a what if scenario. I tend to have just a "Temp" query I use for WIP type queries of this nature.)
Note - You need to replace the bracket's "{}" with square ones, I've used the others as the forum posts as a http reference.
Hope this helps!
