Carry out a requested action directly in the target application

If you use an approval template without stages for requests that do not require approval, you must configure settings in the ApprovalOptions.xml, if the requested action is to be carried out directly in the ERP. These settings must be configured before you create the approval template without stages.

Note: For write-back to work in requests that do not require approval, you need to configure the following setting in the ApprovalOptions.xml first and then create an approval template without stages.

appupdatebeforeexit in ApprovalOptions.xml

Configure the XML as:

Setting Description
XML file name and path [InstallPath]\Settings\ApprovalOptions.xml
Tag <appupdatebeforeexit>no</appupdatebeforeexit>
Node <workflowstages>

<appupdatebeforeexit>no</appupdatebeforeexit>

Configuration setting Set the value of appupdatebeforeexit to:
  • Yes: The requested action is carried out directly in the target application.
  • No: the target application is not modified and the request is marked as completed.
Default The default value is No.
Note: The change in settings will be reflected only in those requests that are created after making the changes.
