Enable and Disable Workflow

When you disable or enable Workflow service, consider these implications:

Workflow Service Disabled

The system will still determine if a user is submitting a Shopping Cart, Blanket Order, or Blanket Order Release that exceeds that user's spending limit. If so, the application will display a message and not allow the Shopping Cart, Blanket Order, or Blanket Order Release to be submitted until either:

• The user reduces the cost of the Shopping Cart, or
• The user is granted a higher spending limit.

Workflow Service Enabled

When Workflow Service is enabled, but business rules are disabled, even if a Shopping Cart or Blanket Order does not conform with business rules, the system automatically converts it into a purchase order.

When Workflow Service and business rules are all enabled, if a Shopping Cart, Blanket Order, or Blanket Order Release does not conform with business rules, the system places it in open status, for further review by approvers / approval groups.
