supplier invoice gets posted without accountant release

[jerrysam]

Hello experts ,

scenario :

when Po is posted and invoice received with higher amount while posting by accountant when accountant posted with amount received as  save as completed instead of post .

now it triggers the workflow of purchaser and he release as he accept the price difference and it which is in supplier invoice . 

but now it should goes to accountant to post instead it goes for approval workflow and for posted invoice when purchase reelases it automatically get posted status .

could someone suggest what will be the issue of it .

Hi Jerry,

Based on your descriptions, I think the invoices have gone into this workflow as described in Import Supplier Invoices . You can find the posted invoices in the Supplier Invoices List  app. There, you can navigate to the supplier invoice, and reverse or release the invoice.

The following documentation is for your reference: Manage Workflows for Supplier Invoices .

Hope this helps.

Hello,

it sounds as if the workflow is not set correctly. 

Have you check the workflow (Fiori-App: Manage Workflows for Supplier Invoices) ?

There you should check whether the following setting is active in the invoice approval workflow:

"Automatically post after approval" → This must be deactivated.

An additional step "Back to accounting" should be added after authorization.

Distinction between "Done" and "Post" for the accountant

If the accountant does not post an invoice, but only marks it as "completed", then only the approval workflow may be triggered.

Recommended: Accountant should either do nothing or have a workflow step that marks "For review", not "Completed".

Define workflow steps with "Return to previous processor"

Workflow can be configured so that after approval by the buyer, the document is not posted but sent back to the accountant's inbox.

Best regards

Dennis
