D365FO workflow: the approver is being used as the originator

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Hi everyone! Any help is much appreciated:

 

Scenario: I'm using the MS template, "Complete Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations workflow work items (PU29)" to perform a PO approval workflow. My Business event is, "Purchase order workflow (000650) - Approve purchase order." If you know of a better business event, then let me know!!

 

Issue: As the approver, after selecting an outcome option (e.g. approve, reject, request change), I also receive the notification intended for the originator. Additionally, in the workflow history timeline of the Teams notification, my user account is displayed as the originator although the workflow was submitted by a different user account. In other words, power automate thinks the originator is the approver. How do I fix this?
