Report of supplier invoice pending for approval with responsible person

[Govind_Sharma]

Hi,

We have huge volume of supplier invoices which assigned to various business users based on value limit in approval workflow.
I am looking for an report which can be used every month end to get details about the supplier invoices pending for approval with approver details.

This will help us to inform them for pending action from business users and get it ready before actual month-end closing.

I have checked MONITORING INVOICES report but not able to get approver details.

Can you please let me know some way to get list of approver and related supplier invoices pending for approval ?

Workaround are always welcome.

Regards,

Govind Sharma

Hi Govind,

You can track the Invoices which are waiting for approval during month end and in turn which causes the delay for month end closing.

You can use the data Source - Supplier Invoice Item Details to track the Supplier Invoices which are in approval. But the report will not show the 'Approver Name' until & unless it is approved by the approver. You can pull the key figures like, Invoice ID, Approver, Created By, Status etc..

But the problem is, if the status of invoice is in In Approval, it will show the Approver value as #. Once the document is approved you can see the approver details.

There is another way of getting it, but not sure if it is helpful for you.

You can go to the Application and User Management -> Business Task Management -> Select All Tasks -> Search with -- Approve Supplier Invoice "ID" -> You will see the approver name at the bottom.

I think you might get this from PDI & hence I kindly request you to get in touch with your partners.

Please mark this thread as answered, if it is helpful.

Best Regards,
Arun
