Hi,
we all did realize that PR is different than many of AX documents.
when we create a new PR we can select the buying legal entity, so we can buy on behalf of others (if we have the privilege), and one PR can be made for several entities.
Within the new structure of PR, somehow AX decided to make the PR workflow on organization level, meaning we can’t create multiple workflows for PR.
My scenario is, i have many entities like 40, so my workflow start with checking the line entity (because each entity have different users for approval, right?) and then checking the item category level (because each category have different department incharge of it) so based on those 2 conditions (entity and category) my workflow start circling from one approval level to another (i have 8 approvals).
The workflow become crazy because i have to include 40 condition for entities (thanks for making the PR workflow on organization level not entity level), and then in each entity i have 13 category, and each category needs 8 approvals; In mid of building the Workflow AX stopped expanding the workflow design screen, and we can’t build more :).
if this PR workflow is on entity level everything would’ve been fine, manageable, easy and achievable, but when its on organization level it become crazy.
My question is:
Is there any function in the PR Workflow that it made it smart enough to find users who belong to the same entity that the PR is created for so i don’t have to create my first condition checking the line entity, nor i need to repeat my workflow 40 times?
I can feel that PR workflow should have some intelligence since its on organization level and they should have included some function to cater for different users in different entities.
If anyone have any clue on how to manage PR workflow i would appreciate the response.
regards
