I am looking for some advice or possible ways to handle this issue, we have a very large complex workflow that every sales order goes through, whether it was manually entered or created via an EDI transaction. This workflow does a bunch of evaluations on the sales order and if it finds a match it puts the sales order into Pending Approval for someone to review, when this happens, the order basically stops moving through the workflow until it is Approved, either by click a button on the sales order or manually clearing a certain field. There are times when a large number of sales order gets put "On Hold" and someone will use the "bulk" Approve Sales Order screen. The issue is, this sets the order to Pending Fulfillment, but the order never completes the workflow, and there are actions in some of the final states that are needed to flag the order and enter values in certain fields that are used to perform other actions, such as communicate data back via EDI. Has anyone or does anyone know how I can get the sales orders that get "bulk" approved to run and complete the workflow.

Can you add a transition to your workflow to transition to the next state (or the complete state) when the status is pending fulfillment?

Interesting thought, let me play with that idea in SBX.
