How to find out if an ION Workflow is running for a specific line.

Hi,

I have a requirement where we trigger an approval process on specific line. I've checked around and found that we can use v1/workflow/start ION API via H5 Script.

However, I want to implement a data locking wherein another approval cannot be submitted if an ION Workflow is already running with that specific line. P.S. I don't have the instance ID at this point. All I know is the approval process and the approval process is allowed to run in other lines simultaneously.

I've checked all the available ION API and I cannot find anything that doesn't require instance ID.

Not sure whether applicable for your case....normally the record (line) should contain a flag InWorkflow which should condition the start of a workflow.

Kind regards

Hi,

That's actually workable. Where can I find the flag you mentioned?

That would be part of the ERP design (where line record resides); I know CSI (SyteLine) has one...but not sure which ERP you use...or ERP is flexible enough to implement one.

oh, we use M3, the status for the line is used for business logic..I was looking for ION API tools that would indicate the record and status of the workflow running..
