When a Purchase Order workflow is being used and the user has submitted the PO for approval, they can still print the Purchase Order or email the Purchase Order. This seems like a hole and allows the user to bypass the workflow process. If the Purchase Order is pending approval the user should not be able to print the PO because they could print it and send to the Vendor and cause issue if the PO is then rejected in the workflow. The same holds true if they can email it without the PO being approved. The restriction should be part of base BC and if a document has a status of Pending Approval they should not be able to print or email the document or really do anything with it until approved. This restriction should be for PO and SO. As the client pointed out if they can print or email the document when the status is pending approval what's the point of the workflow.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team

Absolutely critical - in-fact a purchase order is a legal document. If a million dollar PO goes out without being approved by management, we could be on the hook for that PO ... even though it was not approved.
