ARM Auto Approve BPM

Hi, I wanted to share this with everyone. We use ARM (Advanced Requisition Management) and have encountered issues with purchase orders NOT being automatically approved after they are created in ARM. The BPM itself is simple, but it saves our users from having to go back into Epicor and approve the purchase order after creation. I couldn’t find this BPM anywhere, so I am sharing it here.

PO Update - Pre-processing

Did you look at your settings in ARM?

Also I do recall us updating a few BPMs. @Chris_Conn might recall what the changes were.

I do not recall a BPM for this, I thought it was a config in ARM.

The configuration in ARM worked to auto-approve and confirmed, but not just auto-Approve. We spoke with our ARM representative and were told that we needed to create a BPM for Auto-Approve only.

In our version of ARM, you can turn off the auto-confirm. Our POs still come through auto-approved, just not confirmed.

It’s two places:

  1. Company setting:

This doesn’t change anything for existing vendors within ARM.

2, Vendor

Yeah, we had it set up properly and it still did not work. Like I mentioned above, we had to get ARM involved and they told us we needed a BPM. :man_shrugging: I posted this just in case anyone else ran into the same issue, but I appreciate your response :slight_smile:

No, we didn’t seem to need any additional BPMs outside of the standard ones. We did have one of our own BPMs cause a problem with ARM, we tried to have some filtering on part classes to keep the list within Epicor smaller for setting up parts. That disrupted information going to ARM. If you have other BPMs on that same method, it maybe worth turning them off to confirm it’s not something else.
