Outgoing payment approval using Bank payment Advice in SAP Business ByDesign do not go for approval

Dear SAP Community,
 
Please we are currently having a challenge with Outgoing payment approval using Bank payment Advice in SAP Business ByDesign
 
The challenge is that, it does not go for approval even after all setup has been done. For proper context, the below are what has been setup:
 
 Under Business Configuration we made the following setup; 
 
 1. In Payment Approval - Outgoing Payments under  task: "Business Task Management for Payment and Liquidity Management", the Payment method availabe are:
a. Bank Transfer 
b. Check is:
 
We setup company payment methods for both Bank Transfer and Check as well as the threshold amount. 
 
 Under Application and User Management - Employee Work Distribution we made the following  setup;
 
 2. "Approver for Liquidity Management" and  "Approver for Payables"
 
We set up Rule as All, parameter as company and we defined a user responsible for approval, validity is active as the Rule valid To is set to "unlimited"
 
 After the setup has been completed, on making payment on supplier invoice in the system, it  only goes for approval when "New Outgoing Bank Transfer" is used to do the transaction
But using New Bank Payment Advice it does not go for approval!
 
Please help point out any issue we may be missing out, as to why Bank Payment advice skips the payment approval workflow.

Hi,

Currently, SAP Business ByDesign does not support an approval process for Bank Payment Advice. This functionality is not available and represents a potential new feature request.

We encourage you to share this requirement through the SAP Influence Channel, where new feature ideas are collected and reviewed.

You can post your feature request here: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886

Best Regards,
