Some time ago we run into strange problem when running Vendor add justification workflow (VendRequestNVJTemplate). After creating Vendor Request in Employee Service we can see it in Procurement and sourcing > Common > Vendor Requests > Vendor Requests Pending Approval where the request gets approved. The problem is that after approving the Vendor Request we get error in Workflow History:
After contacting the product team it happens that together with workflow Vendor add justification workflow (VendRequestNVJTemplate) we should configure “User request workflow” (UserRequestAddUserTemplate) under System administration > Setup > Workflow> User workflows.
The reason behind is that with new Vendor Portal we can automatically approved vendor provision to get access to this portal.
