supplier invoice workflow approval - "posting" scenario

[lmonteroquero]

Hi experts, any choice to take out permission for "post" in app "create supplier invoice" .. I would like only possibility for "save as completed" option.. 

I have to customize workflow for supplier invoices approval , and I guess there is not option if a user press "post" to have a workflow for this behaviour.

I´d appreciate any idea. Thanks

Dear Luis,

You can use catalog Accounts Payable - Supplier Invoice Parking (SAP_MM_BC_INV_PARK_PC), removing the general catalog Accounts Payable - Invoices (SAP_FIN_BC_AP_INVOICES_PC). This will give access to Create Supplier Invoice app, with only the Park/Save as complete options.

Then you can use the standard Workflow for Supplier Invoices (Approval of Parked Invoice as Complete) to achieve your scenario.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

António

Dear Thomas,

My proposal will limit users also in the Reversal.

What can be done is, add the catalog SAP_FIN_BC_AP_REVERSAL_PC (gives user the access to reset clearings) and provide access for another user for the reversal part.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Hi there

We had the same issue here. We removed the option to 'post' directly. However, this also removes the option for AP accountants to 'reverse' a posting. Until now we haven't found a suitable other approach than giving the power to 'post' and hence 'reverse' a posting to some of our key users. All 'normal' AP accountants can now only 'save as complete' but not 'post' or 'reverse'.

@ antonio_rato, do you know whether your proposal limits' this as well (haven't tested)?

Regards,

Thomas
