Parallel Activity Workflow (D365F&O)

Parallel Activity Workflow (D365F&O)


Example: I have a requirements on the purchase req workflow - If the Procurement category is : Staples - Condition should be true, If the procurement category is Pen -Condition should be false, At the same time both true and false conditionals approval group users should approve.

Note: Using the Purchase req review work flow- It take only the true condition and false condition can't be executed using the Purchase req review workflow, Example: If I have created a Purchase req with the two procurement categories one procurement category is with the staple with user group 01 and another procurement category with the Pen with user group 02 - I have a condition in my workflow is that If the Procurement category = staple then its true. System takes only true condition (Staple) and moves to the next step for the approval, where as false condition can't be executed using the purchase req review workflow until you include the line level workflow, To Overcome this issue, We can use the Parallel activity workflow with small changes on the workflow.

So System allocates the workflow for two user groups for condition-1 and condition-2 then two approval groups users can approve the PR and we can complete the workflow steps.
