Should I tick 'do not exit workflow' when I get to approved or rejected statuses?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it seems that ticking 'Do Not Exit Workflow' when you get to approved or rejected statuses is a common practice in NetSuite workflows, especially for approval workflows. This is done to prevent the document from going back to the initiation stage and creating a loop, which could potentially cause issues. The 'Do Not Exit Workflow' option ensures that once a document is approved or rejected, it remains within the workflow and does not exit, thus preventing it from re-entering the workflow and starting over. This can be particularly useful when you want to extend or add on to existing workflows, as historical records remain in the state(s) they are in, allowing for easy transition to new states instead of starting the whole workflow over. As for performance impact, it was mentioned that there is no negative performance impact or issues with the record when using 'Do Not Exit Workflow'. In many cases, there may actually be a performance improvement. However, it's important to note that if 'Do Not Exit Workflow' is used, the document will be locked in its current state, which could be an issue if someone needs to change it to pending approval. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
