Narrative:

After engine start when reconfiguring the packs; the flight attendants reported a strong urine odor in the aft galley. The odor dissipated in just a few minutes. After discussing the issue; the flight deck and cabin crew decided the odor had dissipated and was not a safety issue. The flight continued to ZZZ. After the decision was made the odor did not pose a safety issue; we decided to continue the flight. We sent an ACARS to maintenance; and made a logbook entry.
