Workflow Document Attachment Overview
Today we’re going to turn our attention to a new feature that enables users to include documents that they have attached to the various business objects (such as timecards, purchase orders, purchase requisitions, payables batches, and transactions) in the notification emails that workflow approvers receive. This feature, along with the Workflow Email Action functionality previously included in Microsoft Dynamics GP, enables an approver to receive a notification email, review the included attachments, and approve or reject the document directly within the email.
In the above example, you can see that the document, which was attached to the purchase order in this case, has been attached to the email. The Document Attachment Status Inquiry window has also been enhanced for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2, so that you can view when a particular attachment was included in a workflow notification.
