TeamWork: Key Features for approval workflows

TeamWork builds on Extender Workflow templates and applies to Sage 300 core modules and third party modules developed in the Sage 300 SDK. You can enable approvals for many Sage 300 records, master files, batches and transaction headers.

  • You configure approvals with workflow rules based on Sage 300 fields. You can add up to 5 sequential or parallel approvers.

  • Users can approve using the Extender workflow console in the Sage 300 desktop, or using the Extender Workflow Approval menu in the A/C Chat app.

  • For most records, users can also chat about the records, add documents in the chat and approve within the individual chat in the A/C Chat app. Documents added in the chat app can be viewed in the Sage 300 Desktop Screens

  • Some records can be initiated in the A/C Chat app.
