WS14000109 and WS14000044

[Former Member]

Hi All,

has anyone used the Purchasing Completion workflow (WS14000044) with the n-step spend limit approval workflow (WS14000109)?

When I have both activated then I get message 'Workflow not unique', I understand this is because bot the completion workflow and the approval workflow are being started but what should the start conditions for these be?

I want the purchasing completion workflow to start if there is no price or no vendor in the shopping cart and then once this has been actioned the approval workflow to start if the shopping cart value is approve the users spend limit.

Cheers

Hi Chris,

You have to modify the starting conditions of approval workflow WS14000044 so it only starts, with those 2 conditions (no vendor and no price). You might want to check also starting conditions for WS14000109

Hi Nelson,

I understand that the start conditions need to be different but it's what they should be.

Currently for the Purchasing Completion workflow I have

( " Standard Start Conition - No Price

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.RFQ Follow-On Doc.& ≠ X

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Price& EX

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Unlimited& ≠ X

) " Standard Start Conition - No Price

or ( " Additional Start Condition - No Vendor in SC

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Vendor& EX

) " Additional Start Condition - No Vendor in SC

and for the n-step approval workflow I have

( " Standard Start Conition - No Price

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.RFQ Follow-On Doc.& ≠ X

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Price& EX

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Unlimited& ≠ X

) " Standard Start Conition - No Price

or ( " Additional Start Condition - No Vendor in SC

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Vendor& EX

) " Additional Start Condition - No Vendor in SC

( " Standard Start Conditions - Spend Limit Exceeded

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.RFQ Follow-On Doc.& ≠ X

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Spending Limit& EX

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.User SL Approval& EX

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.TotalValue& > &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Spending Limit&

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Unlimited& ≠ X

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.UserBudgetDefined& NX

and &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Price& ≠ X

) " Standard Start Conditions - Spend Limit Exceeded

and ( " Additional Start Condition - Vendor not Initial

&EC Requirement Coverage Request.Exists w.out Vendor& ≠ X

) " Additional Start Condition - Vendor not Initial

Hi Chris,

It seems to be that WS14000109 for n-step approval has the starting conditions for no price and no vendor.

This conditions comes with the WF, but you could ask your WF consultant to help with this issue, so starting conditions don't overlap with WS14000044 conditions.
