SAP Public Cloud Automatic Payment Approval and Payment Voucher

[adnanmaqbool]

Dear All 

We are using SAP Public Cloud and requirement is to print the payments vouchers and also having an approval process.

Not having license for SAP Bank Communication Management hence App Approve Bank Payment is not available.

Is there any option to enable , to print the payment vouchers like through Create Correspondence App, standard available correspondence types not having option to print payment vouchers.

Secondly is there any possibility/workaround to approve the payments before actually posting those through Manage Automatic Payment or Post Outgoing Payment App.

Agreed, we are also facing the same issue and Required a solution for this object.

Hello dear user,

To answer your first question, you can retrieve the payment voucher by using the « Manage Payment Media » app :

1. Define the payment run identification reference
2. Select the payment media you wish you retrieve
3. Click on « Download »

Regarding your second question, there is indeed an alternative to establish a validation workflow that can be configured in the SSCUI 102336 configuration point in S4 Hana Cloud Public Edition requiring the prior implementation of the following scope items:

BFA: Bank Account Management

J77: Advanced Cash Operations

O77: Payment Management

OFA: Cash Flow Management

To access and configure SSCUI 102336, these scope items must be activated in your system.

Make sure that the required scope items are activated to use SSCUI 102336 in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud environment

Once you have checked all the previous requirements, here the steps you have to follow to set-up the solution :

1. Access the « Manage Workflows » app: This application enables the creation and management of custom workflows.
2. Create a new workflow: Select the option to create a new workflow and choose the document type « Payment. »
3. Define the triggering conditions: Specify when the workflow should be activated, such as when the payment amount exceeds a certain threshold.
4. Assign approvers: Define the users or roles responsible for approval at each stage of the workflow.
5. Activate the workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to make it operational.

For a detailed demonstration of configuring and executing a payment approval workflow in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, you can check out this video:

I hope this will answer your questions in details.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy Thanks for sharing a detailed response but above mentioned scope items needs a separate license , can we manage it through some other workaround or extensibility.

Hello again,

I'm afraid it doesn't exist any other workaround solution at this stage.

Best regards,

Jeremy
