Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has Workflows built into the product that just need to be setup and enabled. Many of my clients like the ability to have sales or purchase documents auto post once approved. The steps below outline how to configure the system so a purchase invoice would be posted automatically once approved. The steps are similar for a sales document as well.
I would recommend doing this in a test company first and testing to make sure it works as desired before implementing in the production company.
Note: auto posting general ledger transactions/batches currently isn't available in BC version 15, no idea if this will be available in a later version either.
Workflow Event/Response Combinations
Step 1: open up the Workflow Event/Response Combinations window and find the row for the 'An approval request is approved' and check the box to enable the 'Post the sales or purchase document in the background.'
Workflow
Step 2: next open up the workflow for the Purchase Invoice Approval Workflow. Disable the workflow so you can edit it. Click on the '(+) Remove record restriction' text on the 'An approval request is approved' line.
Workflow Responses - An Approval Request Is Approved
Step 3: add the 'Post the sales or purchase document in the background'
Hi, I have a scenario for dynamic 365 business central.
Scenario: I want to make an approval workflow for due payments. Example: I have create an invoice with the posting date of 01/01/2022 and due date of (according to payment terms) 1/27/2022. Now i want to create a workflow for due date as befor invoice is due system will give me a notification or send me email with the subject of due payments.
If the invoice is already posted then I would use Power Automate to send out the reminder as Business Central workflows can't do this. You could also use Power BI to make a dashboard to review.
HI Kristen, we are having the same problem, we did all the step but still the approved purchase invoice is not being posted after sending it for approval. Could you help give us some recomendation? Thank you
Applying posted credit memos to posted invoices isn't a hard task to complete in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The example I use below is for a vendor credit, but the same process applies to customers. Version: US Business Central 20.0 Open up the vendors list. Search for vendor that you'd like to apply the credit memo to an invoice for. Click on Balance field to open up Vendor Ledger Entries window. This will show all the 'open' documents on the vendor ledger. Select the line for the Credit Memo that you want to apply to a posted invoice. Click Process > Apply Entries Within the Edit - Apply Vendor Entries window select the line(s) that you'd like the credit memo applied to. Click Process > Set Applies-to ID This will put the users name into the Applies-to ID field on the line selected. To post the application select Process > Post Application.

How I failed the first time It was October 2020 and my manager at the time dared me to take the Beta exam without studying to gage how hard it was. I can't turn down a good dare, so I scheduled the exam for October 20, 2020, and spent the days leading up to it reviewing the skills measured document provided by Microsoft. The day came and I felt pretty prepared to proceed with taking the exam. Because the exam was still in Beta I didn't find out until January 4, 2021, that I actually failed the exam. The passing score is 700 and I ended up with 615. Looking back at that experience I remember thinking the exam was hard and that some of the questions were written in such a way that was confusing and thinking that I'd never pass. So, I put the exam on the back burner and continued on with my life. Passing the second time It wasn't until recently (yesterday) that I decided to take the exam again. I decided that today was the day and that I was going to schedule the exam ...
