Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements: Vendor approval enhancements

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements series where I am going hands on with the workflow enhancements of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The seventh and final enhancement to workflow is that the vendor approval workflow has been amended so changes to the hold status or when a document is attached, the vendor needs to be resubmitted for approval. When the hold status is changed or a document attached, the user will get this message and need to resubmit the vendor:

There is no way for this message to be avoided by the user.

I can understand a change to the hold status needing to be approved, but I don’t really understand why attaching a document should require this, and I can see it causing some problems for clients. It would have been better for the document attachment needing to be approved, to be an option than always enforced.
