When you look at the customizations that may businesses want to make to their ERP application, many of these revolve around the processing of Orders, Invoices or any other document. In Compiere, because the Compiere Workflow Engine is used directly in document processing, this makes the customization of these processes much easier.
Lets look at a typical example. In XYZ Corp any purchase order over USD 500.00 must be approved. Level 1 User (we will call him Joe) cannot approve any documents. Level 2 User (we will call her Mary) can approve documents up to USD 1000.00. Level 3 User (we will call her Jane) can approve documents up to USD 10,000.
Mary is Joe's Supervisor and Jane is Mary's Supervisor.
Lets look at the Workflow. In the current Workflow there is no conditional processing that occurs. As long as everything in the document is valid it will be completed when any user processes the document. What we want to happen is between the state of the document where it is prepared and before it is complete we want to add an approval step or condition.
