It gives users a single place to review pending work instead of searching each source window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is used in standard business processes wherever documents follow a Draft-to-Complete lifecycle, such as invoicing, ordering, and journal entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Process Flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1892\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28128\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow.png 1892w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow-300x69.png 300w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow-1024x234.png 1024w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow-768x176.png 768w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/08\/TenthPlanet-iDempiere-MyUnprocessedDocuments-WorkFlow-1536x352.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1892px) 100vw, 1892px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The window lists only records currently in Drafted or unprocessed status across configured document tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Records shown are restricted to the logged-in user&#8217;s Client, Role and Organization access rights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Processed checkbox reflects whether the underlying document has completed its standard workflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Process Now checkbox lets a user trigger completion of the document directly from this window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales Transaction indicates whether the source record belongs to a sales-side or purchase-side document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Active flag follows standard iDempiere logic; inactive records are excluded from normal transaction lists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Document Date and Account Date follow the standard iDempiere accounting date rules for each source table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selecting a row allows direct navigation (zoom) to the originating document for review or completion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User must have an active iDempiere login with a Role that has access to the relevant Client and Organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Table and Window Access for the source documents (e.g., Sales Invoice, Sales Order) must be granted to the Role.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Underlying documents (invoices, orders, journals, etc.) must already exist in Drafted or unprocessed status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard document types and document sequences must be configured for the source tables being monitored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organization and Warehouse setup must be completed for the entities that generate the unprocessed documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Access the Unprocessed Documents Window<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This window gives users a single view of all draft documents awaiting action, avoiding the need to search each source window individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the Home page and click the My Unprocessed Documents panel, or search for it from the main menu. The window opens with a list of pending records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iDempiere automatically populates the list based on the logged-in user&#8217;s Client and Organization access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Review the Source Document Reference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users need to know which table and record the unprocessed entry belongs to before taking action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the Table and Record ID fields to identify the originating document type and its unique reference in the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Record ID lets users zoom directly into the originating document window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Verify Document Identification Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirming the document number and dates ensures the correct record is being reviewed before processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the Document No, Document Date, and Account Date to confirm the transaction period and reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dates default from the source document and follow standard iDempiere accounting date validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Check the Document Status<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The status field confirms the current lifecycle stage of the document and whether action is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the Document Status field, typically shown as Drafted for records appearing in this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Complete or Process the Document<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Processing the document moves it through the standard iDempiere document lifecycle and updates related records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select Process Now to trigger the standard Complete action, or open the source document to process it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking Process Now runs the same Document Action logic used in the source window, subject to standard validations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6: Confirm Transaction Type and Active Status<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These flags help users distinguish sales-side documents from purchase-side documents and confirm the record is still valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the Sales Transaction checkbox to identify the transaction direction, and confirm Active is checked for valid records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the configuration, the window is ready for use in standard iDempiere transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
