Does editing document trigger Approval Procedures checking?

Can anyone confirm that a document go through Approval Procedures checking when it is being added? It does not trigger the checking when it is edited?
I notice if I add a document, the Approval Procedures kicks in, but if I edit a document (so that it meet the Approval Procedure criteria) the Approval Procedure does not appear.
Thanks.

Thanks Rahul, if the document initially does not trigger approval procedure but after changes it should trigger approval procedure, for example:
Credit Limit $1,000, Outstanding Balance $800, user created a Sales Order of $150, added to the system and edit it to $250 after that. The editing should trigger approval procedure but it doesn't.
Is it correct system behaviour?

  • Query that will run on the items matrix and trigger Approval procedure

    Hello,
    We are trying to design an approval procedure whenever an item code appears in a certain UDT.
    For example, we have many items in OITM.
    We have 50 of those items also in @BIN.
    The approval procedure should be triggered only when the document lists one of the items that appear in @BIN.
    I am using the following query:
    SELECT 'TRUE'   where $ [$38.1.0]  IN (Select code from [@BIN] )
    The problem is that the query would only search on the first row and wouldnu2019t continue to the next rows.
    Do you have any idea how to bypass this limitation?
    Thanks in advance

    SELECT 'TRUE'   where $[$38.1.0]  IN (Select code from [@BIN] )

    Hi Revital,
    One way to implement this functionality would be to use a UI API that verifies the values while filling the items in the Matrix. For this you would need a little programming knowledge but no extra license.
    There is a lot of information including Code Samples in the SDK Package delievered with every patch of Business One.

  • Can DI Trigger approval procedures?

    Hi,
    I have added an approval procedure in B1, when a user adds an Order the manager approves it. Now when the same User adds the order using the DI, the apporvals fail. Is there any work around for this.??
    I have seen the previous posts regarding the same with no solution, is it solved now..?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vasu Natari.

    This functionality is now available in 8.82
    From the What's New 8.82 Document:
    "The DI API now supports the entire approval procedure process.
    After you add a document that meets the condition of an approval template, the approval process is triggered and the document is saved as draft. The approver then looks up and updates the approval requests via the ApprovalRequestsService object in the DI API. When the approval request is approved, you can use the SaveDraftToDocument method in the Documents, StockTransfer and Payments object to convert the draft to a document.
      To activate the feature in the DI API, use the EnableApprovalProcedureInDI property in the AdminInfo object and make sure that the DocConfirmation property of the AdminInfo object is set to Yes."

  • Approval procedure when update sales order that hasn't been approved

    Dear Experts
    I need some advice
    Example:
    - BP credit limit = 100
    - Create New Sales order with amount 90, doesnu2019t need trigger approval procedure, because the amount is still under limit
    - Update the SO amount to be 110, approval procedure should be triggered
    But in SBO, approval procedure is not triggered for update transaction even for SO has not yet been approved, is it a bug? Will it be improved in SBO 8.8?
    Is there any other way to trigger approval procedure in update mode? May be through store procedure or add on?
    Really appreciate your help
    Best Regards
    JeiMing

    Dear Gordon
    I understand the concept for approval will not be triggered anymore for approved SO, because once a transaction has been approved, user will not be allowed to make any changes that related with the approval. And SBO has been made restriction for that. It is good
    But, It doesn't make sense, for SO that even the approval has not been yet executed. And SBO still allow user to make any changes such as quantity and total amount. And SBO do not trigger the approval if the modification meet approval condition
    If SBO was designed not trigger approval in update mode  to avoid endless loop as what you said, why SBO still allow user to make any changes in unapproved SO ? it makes user can avoid the approval
    Don't you think this is a bug ?
    Please advice
    Best Regards

  • Approval Procedure Not Triggered on Updating Document

    Hi,
    When Adding a new Sales Order, if the document meets the criteria laid down by an Approval Template, the Approval Process is started.
    However, if an old Sales Order is Updated, the Sales Order the Approval Process is ignored.
    This is a problem for certain customers who have Approval Procedures which prevent users Adding Sales Orders which would take a Business Partner over the Commitment and/or Credit Limit.
    The user can get around the Approval Procedure by adding a Sales Order for a value which keeps the BP under the set limit.  If they then Update the Order, they can enter any value.
    For example, a user may be prevented from adding an Order totalling £1000.00.  If they Add the Order for £0.00 instead, they could later amend the Order to any amount as the Approval Process is not fired !

    Could you clarify what you mean by "The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers"
    Negative number: the system message I get when I create a delivery note for a customer, exceeding the credit limit is the following:
    Customer has exceeded credit limit - 95.479 EUR
    Customer has exceeded commitment limit - 95.479 EUR
    Continue (Y/N)
    Make sure the Credit Limits are set in the BP Master. --> OK, credit limit is set to 100 EUR, Commitment limit to 100 EUR
    Also use Great than in Ratio and try to use a small number like 10 in the value  --> I am using 1 EUR
    Also, check in System Initialization > General Settings..BP Tab Activate approval procedure is checked. --> it is checked.
    Using the range option does not solve the problem, in fact even if I use 'Deviation from Credit Limit does not equal 1 EUR' the approval is not triggered. When I use the same Approval template, but I alter the terms to Total document greater than 1 or Discount% greater than 1 the approval is triggered.

  • How to start approval procedure for a Document/Draft using DI API

    Hi!
    My code imports purchase orders from one non-B1 system to SAP B1 using DI API. The problem is that in B1 system there is an approval process configured and I need the newly created purchase order to enter this approval process.
    Currently this is not done because approval procedure isn't triggered when creating documents using DI API.
    I had an idea to create a draft of PO instead of the PO and then push this draft into approval process somehow. But I can't find a way how to tell DI API to start approval procedure for my draft/document.
    Thank you for your replies!
    Jan

    Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the approval process for any object added through the DI API.
    Your workaround of adding the documents as drafts is as close as you can really come but maybe you could extend it slightly - it will involve a UI API addon:
    Make the addon mandatory, and add a UDF to the user table, for example "U_Approver" and a UDF to PO document, like "U_Approval"
    - Set this U_Approval to yes when adding through DI and add as draft
    - When user opens draft document in the application, check are they an approver (U_Approver = "Y")
    - If they are not, and try to view/add a draft which is flagged as needing approval, block them from adding.
    You could further expand your DI project to send a mail to the approver whenever a draft PO is added.

  • Approval Procedure on Document Update

    I have a approval procedure that works great when a Sales Order is initially created.  The approval procedure does not trigger when an order is updated?
    Is that normal behavior?
    If so is there a way to have it check on update?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I think it should be fixed ASAP. If this is the case then there is absolutely no point in having an approval process in place at all?
    If there is a purchase order approval created for PO's over 5000 for example, then all the user has to do is create an order for less than 5000 and then update it afterwards to what ever amount he/she likes, and it will go through without any approval?
    I really think that this should be given some urgent attention!
    Regards

  • Approval Procedure - SAP loses the changes to the document

    Good morning to all.
    I need an explanation regarding the approval procedures.
    We have recently upgraded the system from version 2007 SP01 PL10 to version 8.81 PL10.
    We have a approval procedure whit 2 level:
    User A => Create the document
    User B => First level approval.
    If User B approve the document then
    User C => Final level approval
    I noticed that in the previous version, during the phase of approvals, was created a single record in the table ODRF. This record was updated with various changes made by users during the approval phase. The changes made ​​during the approval phase regarding UDF
    Now, with the new version, I find myself with the table ODRF registering a record for each change made to the document that is pending approval.
    So, if User B open the document pending approval, saves it as a draft, then edit some UDF and still saves as a draft, in ODRF table we have 2 line (the first for the first save, the second for the UDF edited and so on...)
    But, when you invoke the document itself to approve or modify it, it always loads the first record from the table ODRF, thus losing all the changes.
    Do you have news about this situation? Are there solutions?
    Sorry for my english...

    Hi GORDON.
    Thank for your reply
    After talking with our partners, I confirm that version 8.81 is not possible to make changes to the UDF fields in a document during the approval phase.
    More precisely, the changes can be made, the document can be saved as a draft during the approval procedure, but at the time of approval, the changes are not shown.
    This is because, in the drafts table (ODRF), unlike what happened in the 2007 SP01 PL10 and even in version 8.80, the changes are saved in other records (line) with other draft number ID respect to the original record, and therefore no longer recoverable and / or visible .
    And, I do not understand why, there is no trace in any official document about SAP to that change.
    Sono incazzato....

  • Sales order not editable after approval procedure

    Dear SAP,
    for a customer we need to find out a way to edit sales orders after approval. Example: User fills a sales order with more than 100 positions and had a typing error which is realized later.
    Next example: Customer wants the delivery conditions to be changed. We know that changing a document after approval might sound strange - but the customer's processes are like that.
    Thanks a lot in advance, sincerely
    Guido

    It is not strange that every now and then, users have requests to change a document after approval.  However, the discipline is absolutely necessary here.  There is no room for you to change.  Otherwise, the approval procedure may not be that useful.  If there is typo, you have to recreate the document.  Next time the problem would be less. If unfortunately customer wants the delivery conditions to be changed, then you have to recreate the document too.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • Query that will trigger on Approval Procedures

    Hi All,
    I have this requirements that the user will prevent them to Add the Sales Order by triggering the Approval Procedures. I need the script that i can use to link on the Terms Based on the User Queries. The script will check if the Unit Price is deviates 50% from the original Unit Price.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Melvin

    Hi Melvin,
    User query approval will only work on document header. Line level checking is not possible unless you just care about the first line.
    Thanks,

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
