HOW CAN BPF ON WORK ORDERS BE AUTOMATED BASED ON SYSTEM STATUS?

In Dynamics 365, Business Process Flow is a tool that gives visual representations of processes. The heading across the top of an entity form displays them. It is only supported till stage dialogue box is open. We can interact with it by using pre-defined fields within pre-defined stages.

The stages must move automatically in response to the status of the system. Rather than requiring the user to manually click the button to advance to the next stage, the stage of the work order should be transferred to the defined stage automatically.

This article will improve our understanding of BPF and help us meet any business requirements, such as automating its stage movement.

We can achieve this by using process to automatically move it when the field changes.

Steps for navigating the automated BPF:

Advanced Settings -> Solution (in which changes are required to be made) in which it is required to make modifications.

Process Flow2

In solution, select processes and create a new process (in this scenario we are using background workflow).

Process Flow3

Select Category -> Workflow and select BPF entity from the list.

Process Flow4

Set scope as required from the list and set start when-> record fields change.

Select a field on which BPF is expected to move.

Click on Add Step -> Check Condition
