The recent Dynamics GP 2019 Release included four new workflows that relate to system security. These will be helpful if you want to add an approval component to various security settings in GP.
User Security Workflow
You can add an Approval Workflow for changes in User Security to better control your system processes.
These are the fields available for a conditional workflow step to control your workflow.
User Workflow
You can add an Approval Workflow for additions and changes to User records to better control access to your system.
These are the fields available for a conditional workflow step to control your workflow:
Security Roles Workflow
You can also add an Approval Workflow for additions and changes to Security Roles to better control access to your system and processes.
These are the fields available for a conditional workflow step to control your workflow:
Security Tasks Workflow
Finally, you can add an Approval Workflow for additions and changes to Security Tasks to better control access to your system and processes.
These are the fields available for a conditional workflow step to control your workflow.
Import Workflow and Export Workflow
You can import and export specific workflows. If you have multiple GP companies in your system, this makes it much easier to deploy GP workflows. Some clients have 50 or more company databases and deploying even a very simple workflow in all companies would be a very long and manual process.
Change Approver for Active Workflow Task
This will be very helpful for GP workflow administrators. Once a workflow has been started, this screen allows you to change the Currently Assigned Approver.
Vendor Approval Workflow submit on Hold or Doc Attach
Vendors will now require approval if the Hold status is changed, or if a document is attached to the Vendor card. In previous versions these two actions would not require the vendor to be resubmitted for approval.
For example, if the Hold button is either marked, or unmarked on the Vendor Card, you will be prompted to resubmit the Vendor for approver in Workflow. Also, if a document is attached using the large paperclip on the Menu bar, then then you will be prompted to resubmit the Vendor for approver in Workflow.
In both situations you will receive the following message:
