Background
The new AutoPost feature relates to the Finance API functionality that allows you to integrate Kuali Awards with your institution's local financial system and post information. Users have the ability to send this transaction information manually by clicking the 'Post' button in either an Award or Time & Money document of Kuali Research. However, with the new AutoPost parameters enabled the system will automatically post the information without requiring the user to click the necessary Post button. The newly added parameters are:
- Tm_auto_post_enabled: when set to true any Time & Money document that goes to FINAL will automatically post.
- award_auto_post_enabled: when set to true any Award document that goes to FINAL will automatically post.
So if you have no workflow associated with either of your Award or Time & Money documents then the posts will occur immediately after you submit. If you have workflow associated it will get automatically posted after the last approval and the document goes to FINAL status.
