Disabling Exception Criteria
By default, all exception criteria are enabled and executed by the workflow. You have the option of disabling those that do not suit your business requirements. In effect, this shortens the duration of the workflow run for each invoice. This is done by changing the property of the field that is associated with the exception.
Other guidelines and instructions for customizing the workflow can be found in these topics:
To disable exception criteria:
-
On the Workflow tab of the context panel, click the Fields subtab.
-
Click the pencil icon for the exception criteria field to be edited.
Exception fields are identified by the [PREF] prefix, for example, [PREF] Terms Validation.
Important:The Fields subtab also shows fields with the [IAW] prefix. To avoid disrupting the workflow process, make sure that those fields are not changed or deleted.
-
On the Workflow Field page, click the Validation & Defaulting subtab.
-
Clear the Default Checked box.
-
Click Save.
