Workflow “How-To” (Microsoft Definition)

In the Workflow window, you create a workflow by listing the involved steps on the lines. Each step consists of a workflow event, moderated by event conditions, and a workflow response, moderated by response options. You define workflow steps by filling fields on workflow lines from fixed lists of event and response values representing scenarios that are supported by the application code.

The generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV includes a number of preconfigured workflows, listed in the Workflow Templates window, that you can copy to create workflows. The codes for workflow templates that are added by Microsoft are prefixed with “MS-“.

If a business scenario requires a workflow event or response that is not supported, a Microsoft partner must implement them by customizing the application code.

The Document Approvals feature that existed in the previous version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is removed. The standard approvals scenarios that were supported in the previous version are now supported as workflows for sales approvals and purchase approvals respectively. The upgrade tool will recreate document approval data in previous versions as workflow data in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016.
