Features of PurchaseHQ from ISC Software: Workflow Integration

This post is part of the Features of PurchaseHQ from ISC Software, as well as part of the over-arching GP Elementz from ISC Software series.

Many of the purchasing portals for Microsoft Dynamics GP include their own workflow modules, but this means there is a difference in function between the ones used in the portal and the rest of the approvals used in Microsoft Dynamics GP. PurchaseHQ has taken a alternative approach and fully integrated with the standard Microsoft Dynamics GP module, ensuring that any approvals done for cards, documents or batches are consistent both in setup and maintenance.

The PurchaseHQ home page has a section for Workflow Approvals which shows all of the workflow types which have a workflow process created:

On one page, at a glance, an approver can see if they have an approval pending and drill in and see full details, including any documents attached through the standard Document Attachment module in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Rather than receiving one email per approval, which for a large site can become a tsunami of emails, an approver can log onto one page and see all of their approvals; by drilling into a workflow type they can see all approvals of that type for all companies enabled for workflow in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
