Use Workflows Escalation Automatic Approval For Spot Reviews

Murray Fife has a tip for you on his Dynamics AX Tip Of The Day blog. Fife says you may think that the escalation rules can just be used to move a task up the corporate ladder when someone fails to pull this weight, but they have a kinder, gentler reason for being. Fife explains that you can configure them to automatically approve tasks as well if they are not acted upon. He says that makes them a great way to have tasks assigned to users for review. But if they don't have the time to act upon them, or if they just want to periodically review transactions, then the tasks that they do not look at will continue on their merry way through the workflow.

It's just like throwing a twenty sided dice to see if your workflow is reviewed, he says.

Fife tells you how to do it here.
