To set up a workflow and associate it to employee advances, do the following:

1. Create a workflow in 'Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures'.
2. Create a business rule with the 'Rules For MDF Based Objects' scenario with 'Workflow' Purpose and 'Non-Recurring Payments' Base Object. Use the workflow that was created in the previous step in this rule. 
   
3.  Go to 'Configure Object Definitions' > 'Object Definition' > 'Non-Recurring Payments' and change the field 'Pending Data' to 'Yes'.
   
4. Add the previously-created business rule to the 'Save Rules' section of this object.
5. Make sure that the approvers of the workflow have permissions to the pay components used in the advances. If they don't have it, they'll get an error message when approving the workflows.
