We recently upgraded to D365 F&O v10 from v7.3

It seems like in v7.3, when a user tried to generate a Purchase Order against a project in Project Management and Accounting, if the related budget hadn’t completed the budget approval workflow (or the revised budget approval workflow), the user was unable to relate a PO line to an activity.  

We recently found that users are now able to issue PO’s against a project where the budget hasn’t completed the approval workflow.  I’ve tried looking through the “What’s new in version..” documents, both version and platform updates and can’t seem to find a reference to this functionality changing.

Is there a setup I’m missing?  Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve it?  We’d like to prevent PO’s from being issued until the Project budget is approved.

Thanks.

Patrick

Patrick,

I’ve noticed a variety of workflow related issues with POs between v8 and v10. I would recommend opening a case with Microsoft. That is the route I have had to take for the majority of my workflow issues, with some turning out to be actual bugs that were addressed in the latest updates.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply.  I will most likely log a ticket with Microsoft as it does feel like a bug.

Regards,

Hello Patrick,
As a starting point, do you have the “check budget on document line save” parameter enabled under Project Mgmt and Accounting Parameters > Cost Control > Budget Control menu path?

Thanks for the reply Jack.

Yes, I have that setting enabled.  It used to work in v7.3 which we upgraded from.
