SalomeS,

If I understand correctly, then there is a way to do this. I did something similar. We wanted an approval process for our sales order. so the flow was On hold → remove hold → approve or reject → open but once it was approved, we didnt want the approve/reject buttons to show up again. So what i did was had the “approve” action in a customization add a date to a field. Then in the approval maps, i added a condition where, if the field is empty, the approve button shows up. otherwise it doesnt. So once someone hits the approve button, the approval doesnt show up again unless someone empties that field. Screenshots below. Hope this helps. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your prompt response and clarification on the matter. While I appreciate the insight into the current functionality, it's disheartening to learn that there hasn't been progress on this front in the past four years since the issue was initially raised.

As a relatively new user to Acumatica, we're continually discovering areas where small enhancements could significantly improve efficiency and user experience. The ability to modify specific document attributes without triggering a complete re-approval process seems like a logical step forward, particularly for businesses like ours that rely heavily on internal approval workflows.

Thank you again for your assistance.

Hello,

Welcome to Acumatica Community!  Your question makes perfect sense.

When a document is put back on hold in order to make changes, removing Hold sends the document for approval again, from the beginning (as if it wasn’t already approved). With current Acumatica versions, we have no way to modify any fields without starting over the approvals when a changed document is taken off Hold again.

Please vote for improvements:

Thank you.
