AP Approval issues after disruptive change

Are any other users running into approval issues within AP after this week's update? Some folks are no longer able to approve AP and are getting this error: Option 1 is invalid if the invoice is included in the approval process (CMS740), (CMS741) or (CMS742).

With new changes release in March 2026- New parameter is added in APS905 to control activation of approval flow for supplier expense invoices, to allow for preparations to complete before activating.

Thank-you for sharing this Jeremy - very much appreciated. I will be connecting with my team to determine next steps.

I was toying around with this toggle in prep for April and realized it's not optional, which would have completely derailed our processes. I logged a ticket asking Infor to confirm what I was seeing was true and they came back with the below--read carefully as come next week, you could be put into a situation where you're unable to go backwards:

With version 2026.04, the plan was for the functionality to become mandatory — the toggle would automatically turn on during the  Read more...maintenance window and could not be turned off afterward.

However, several customers informed us that they were not yet ready to adopt the new workflow. As a result, Infor decided to change the approach so that the toggle no longer dictates the behavior.
Instead, a parameter has been introduced in APS905, allowing you to choose whether to use the new or the old functionality.

The parameter is: 117 – “Activate approval flow for supplier expense invoices.”

This parameter will also be deployed during the April maintenance window, which is why you do not see it yet.

During the maintenance window, M3 will automatically check whether there is any configuration in CMS715:

- If CMS715 is empty: APS905 Parameter 117 will be set to 0 (off).
- If CMS715 contains data: APS905 Parameter 117 will be set to 1 (on) and cannot be reverted.

In short, if you prefer not to use the new feature for now, please ensure that CMS715 is empty before the 2026.04 update. Show less...

Jeremy - correct. Approving from APS110. We had toggled 232905 on resulting in this error.
BC:
Approve AP from where? APS110? You must have activated toggle 2329095 and then created configuration in those new CMS programs.
