Nav 2017 Workflows - Sales vs. Purchasing

abrotherly

Hi, we are working with our partner to set up Sales and Purchase workflows. I understand the approval limits can be different on the Sales vs. Purchase side for approvers, but is it true that for any one user, only one approver can be assigned for the workflow? While our Sales and Purchase workflows start with the same two users, the chain of approvers differs for Sales vs. Purchase transactions. Is it true Nav 2017 cannot accommodate this distinction? I appreciate your input.

If you user the "Approver ID" on "Approval User Setup" method then yes that's true. However you could use "Workflow User Groups" instead and this will allow you to have different approvers for your sales & purchase approvals. This is controlled by the "Approver Type" option against the workflow response.
