Hi,

I am using Navision 5.0 and facing following problem;

I have defined the following user setup with Sales/Purchaser code;

Requestor --> Approver 1 --> Approver 2

When I do Additional user setup and leave the approver type blank to take effect the Addiotional approvers only then it follow as below;

Requestor --> Approver 1 --> Approver 2

It sent email to Approver 1 on request but once Approver 1 approves it should send email to Approver 2 but it sends email again to approver 1 email address.

It send the approval entry to approver 2 but does not send the mail notification to him. In case Approver 1 Rejects the request then it send mail correctly to Approver 2 as well for Rejection notification but it does not happen for approval mail.

Any soltuion please? ](*,) ](*,)

    Hi,

    It seems it is a bug of Navision which no body has noticed we faced the same problem and we fixed it by doing some customization in Approval entry table by adding Next approver column and then change in code unit as below

    Code Unit 439
    SetupNextApprovers
    Rec1."Next Approver":=Rec2."Approver ID";

    Code Unit 440

    GetEmailAddress
    IF AppEntry."Next Approver"<>'' THEN
    UserSetup.GET(AppEntry."Next Approver")

    I hope this will be fixed in Navision next service. Its strange that no one has complained this bug. Or may be no one is using Navision standard workflow.

    Regards,
    Sajid

    Thanks Sajid!!

    You were such a great help.

    You are right may it is a bug of navision which no one has noticed. Thats is why I get no answer from any one for whole week. Although many people read my post.

    My problem is also solved now with your suggestions. Thanks again

    take a look at 5.0 sp1 and 2009 and see if this issue is fixed.
    There have mulitple fixes done in 5.0 sp1 in "Approvals Mgt Notification" CU and "Approvals Management" CU
