After the upgrade the trip status is not considering for approval condition.
Use case:
1. If trip submitted it is going for "Pending approval'' which is incorrect because it should go to audit (rather than approval).
2. All trips are moving to “Reimbursement Requested” right after “Pending Approval” without considering audit step based on sampling check for expense types.
Root Cause:
After system upgrade to 1311 defined conditions are not taking place & process is changed after upgrade (refer the attached screenshot).
Solution:
As a workaround you can copy any of the existing approval process versions, to a new version and activate the new one. This should restore the earlier behavior.
You can update the existing Expense Report Approval process by delimiting the validity with new process using Copy button.
Detailed steps to update the approval process:
-Go to the Application & User Management Work Center.
-Go to the Task Distribution view & press Approval Processes link.
-You will get Default approval process for Expense Report.
-Select the process & press Copy button.
-Enter the new Process Name, Define Conditions etc.. as per your choice & Save.
Once new process is created & available in draft mode, you need to change the validity.
-Select the new process and press Edit Validity.
-You will get the existing Active process and newly created process.
-Select the Old process, remove the Unlimited Validity check box and update Validity To date.
-Select the new process Update the Valid From Date (similar to the Validity To date of old process) and select Unlimited Validity.
Now once the defined start date/time will come, new process will become enabled automatically.
