Setting up Approval Map on Sales Orders

Hi @jwarren 

You can definitely handle this with a workflow for SO.  Set up a single condition requiring approval from Finance where the SO has a line with product X.  All others that don’t match that condition will be automatically approved when you remove the SO from hold.  

Here’s a print screen of a sample SO approval that has one condition based on sales line discount % rather than a specific product but it is the same idea.  

I just tested it out with a sales order with no line discounts and less than 10K...and it automatically went to Approved.

Hey David,

To clarify, the Sales Order going automatically Approved is the issue since once approved it greys out and you can no longer edit the Sales Order Lines. This prevents our automation from running.

For context, we auto create a SKU on SO creation (this is our automation). We use a non-stock item when creating the SO, and when we save the SO, a SKU is created in the background. When we remove hold, the non-stock SKU is replaced by the stock SKU created on SO creation.

When the SO gets auto approved, it greys out the SO Detail and prevents the second part of the automation from running.

So looking for a way to maintain the SO Detail as editable while it is Open and Approved or Open and Pending Approval.
