Allocation Accounts can't be used when approval workflows are implemented... To me this is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed. Right now, these two valuable features don't work together and a BC users need to determine which feature is more important to them and then they can't use the other. This is unfortunate.This doesn't work because the Allocation Account feature inserts additional entries to approved transactions, which isn't allowed by the workflow controls. Just like I can't modify an approved entry without it needing to be approved again, the Allocation Account feature can't insert its additional entries. The workflow approval stops it from posting.
Hello Kishor Mistry,thank you for the tip. In practice, this will probably happen very rarely, but it is clear that the example must also be possible on the system side.I see two possibilities for this case:Option 1:Both shipping numbers are printed in the comment line. I would probably completely balance the first shipment line booked and the remaining quantity in the second:Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Line 1 Item A, Ship Qty 8Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Line 2 Item B, Ship Qty 8Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx and Line 3, Item C, Ship Qty 8Option 2:A separate invoice line is created for each shipment line. I would probably completely balance the first shipment line booked and the remaining quantity in the second:Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx Line 1, Item A, Ship Qty 5Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxxLine 1, Item A, Ship Qty 3Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx Line 2, Item B, Ship Qty 5Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxxLine 2, Item B, Ship Qty 3Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxx Line 3, Item C, Ship Qty 5Shipment No xxx Date xx.xx.xxxxLine 3 Item C, Ship Qty 3
