How to close a PO through an approval workflow. it does not seem loike setting the approval status to rejected actually achieves this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To close a Purchase Order (PO) through an approval workflow, you need to follow a few steps. It's important to note that simply setting the approval status to 'Rejected' does not close the PO. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Detach the Workflow: If there is a workflow in action, you need to cancel it. This can be done by detaching the workflow from the system notes. 2. Edit and Close All Lines: After detaching the workflow, you need to edit the PO and close all the lines. This will effectively close the PO. 3. Delete the PO: If you want, you can also delete the PO since it is a non-posting transaction. For the approval process, you can use a custom workflow. The transition criteria in the workflow will move the PO to the correct state or approver. However, assigning multiple approvers to each employee can be tricky. You might need to dynamically store the Purchase Approver (PA) of the PA of the employee in custom fields like “Purchase Approver Level 2”. Also, make sure you have turned on the approval routing for the PO in accounting preference. Once you have done so, a native next approver field will appear on the PO. Set this field via the workflow to your targeted approver record. There should also be workflow-generated buttons for approval and rejection specifically for the target approver(user) - define that in workflow action conditions. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
