This is very much needed, especially in enterprise organizations where there is a higher focus on approvals.
Our Client, with more tahn 45.000 employees is currently thinking about not using the workflow and do custumizations instead, because of this.
This is bad since we have a no custumization approach.
Any update on this? Feature was added in procurement and sourcing for purchase orders "Purchase order workflow submission and approval performance enhancement". This validates during the workflow but is not an efficient process for the user. It should be validated at submission and provide real time feedback if it fails validation (primarily accounting distributions).
I'd like to second the original idea and all other comments made here. I have just recently encountered all of the limitations outlined here while configuring a proof of concept solution for our customer. Simply put, we need to be able to specify the exchange rate and currency code for all Job Planning Lines so that resulting Sales Invoices and related Purchase Invoices calculate correctly.
The Job Planning Line does have a "Currency Date" field but even this does not seem to accomplish one would expect (derive an exchange rate based on a date other than the posting/document date of the resulting invoice. Nor does it allow you to specify different rates for different Jobs (as mentioned in several comments above).
