Payment release workflow thru F-53 Transaction help needed

Hi gurus,
I am trying for payment release workflow using F-53 which is the client requirement. As there is no parking option in the transaction i created a custom event "parked" in the transaction .I tried using BTE. but i m not able to find the right product no in infosystems of BTE for the transaction F-53. Is there any way for payment approval workflow.
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Actually, what you may do is setup a workflow for automatic payment with approval/rejection process which would trigger a BAPI for f-53 process.
And keep the below items in mind before finalize:
a. F110 will not clear any blocked invoices.
This is the default setting, as a security for the blocked items stay in the system
(blocks are always there with a reason).
b. In F-53 you can control what you want to clear (not automatic),
therefore some blocks can be redefined allowing F-53 to clear SPECIAL-BLOCKED items
You may find more options too.
Thanks

FI Payment Release Workflow Agent assignment and SPRO settings.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Payment release workflow for 2 stages. So for this i have activated the main workflow WS00400012 and for First level release WS00400011 and for second level release WS00400021.
Now where should i assign the agent for First level release and second level release ? and what setting should i do in SPRO as FI settings.
Any of you suggestions will be of great help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Hari

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.Should i mention the main workflow number in SPRO or
just the subworkflows alone ?.
Assign main workflow number
Can i assign users directly in workflow itself insteas of assigning position in SPRO.
Don't assign users inside the workflow, if the user id you want to change then again you have to change the workflow.

Payment Release Workflow for PO invoice

Hi folks,
              Need to develop Payment Release Workflow for PO related invoice which are triggered via MIRO.
              Can i use Business object BUS2081 for the purpose ?
              WS00400012 is the standard workflow for the same purpose for NON PO invoices.
              Is there any standard Workflow for the PO Invoices. Do we need to trigger this as BTE ?
              Please suggest.
                    Thanks in advance,
                    Shyam.

Hi Amanullah, How are you?
Did you get an answer about this situation ? I am trying to do the same thing by FI or by MM and I'm worrying if we can to do by Standard SAP. In FI I'm trying to do via spro:

Payment Release Workflow

Hi Folks,
         We are working on Payment Release workflow in AR module.
         Once the invoice is posted, workflow is able to block the payment, but not sending mails to the agent for approval.
         For testing, i have entered a dummy userid as the agent and checking for the mails.
         How can we debug or monitor to check why the agent is not getting mails in SBWP.
         Pls suggest how to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam.

Hello,
Okay, let me correct that for you:
"We are working on Payment Release workflow in AR module.
Once the invoice is posted, workflow is able to block the payment, but not sending WORKITEMS to the agent for approval.
For testing, i have entered a dummy userid as the agent and checking for the WORKITEMS.
How can we debug or monitor to check why the agent is not getting WORKITEMS in SBWP.
Pls suggest how to solve the problem."
Have you looked in SWI5 to see if it is listed for the user there? Check that there are no excluded agents.
The solution is likely that you haven't set the task to General Task, as already suggested.

Hi Experts,
                  I am working on Payment release workflow WS00400012. When a document is posted I am getting an error in the task TS00407859 (Determine Subworkflow Release for Payment). Within this I found "SUBWFDETERMINE" is getting executed in this task I am getting an error. I did debug the method SUBWFDETERMINE from SWO1 there I am gettng an error "Error in workflow customizing" this is because the field SUBNR is initial. Can anybody tell me in the customizing where I am doing the mistake.
Thank you.

Payment Release workflow WS00400012

Hi,
I am using payment release workflow WS00400012,in configuration I have given subworkflows WS00400011,WS00400021 & Ws00400022 with different amounts.But when i post the document it only goes to one level ie.WS00400011, I checked workflow WS00400012 there in step 82 , one level subworkflow (WS00400011) is given in task, so the system takes only one level of release irrespective of amount of document.
My Question : How to call different release level in workflow based on amount.
Is any changes are required in standard workflow WS00400012 for having amount wise release level.
Thanks
Nishant Mittal

Hi Nishant ,
Why dont you have a look at the release authorizations in SPRO. Try to give varying amounts.
Meanwhile , let me have a look. Will revert by Monday -21.08.2006.

Error in Payment Release Workflow

Hi friends,
I am working on the Payment Release workflow.I am using the standard WF for this.But my workflow is throwing an error if i am not maintaining the SPRO setting "Assign Release Approval Paths for Release for Payment".
<b>The error is It is not able to determine the Subworkflow.</b>Is it mandatory to do this setting.If so then we have to maintain a release group for all the vendors but my client is saying that he dont want to do this. Kindly suggest how to proceed..
Rgds

Please do not add new questions in an existing thread. Two good reasons for this are that it prevents us from upping the food program donation from SAP (since you can not award any "good reply" points), and that it is easier for people to find previously answered questions if we limit ourselves to one topic per thread.
Now, to your question: I believe this would be solved by only defining release approval paths for specific release approval groups. Then, for those vendors that don't have a release approval group there should be no blocking. I am however not sure about it, and if you have tried this and it failed (you don't say whether you have tried) - perhaps a workable alternative would be to use a particular release approval group for these vendors and define a release approval for these where the clerks can release any amount.

Vendor payments release workflow!!!

Hi all
Can somebody explain to me how we setup standard workflow so that all vendor invoices greater than 100.000 can be blocked for payment automatically & released by some other user?
I tried to give the document type "KR" to the workflow variant & tried to do invoicing for the vendor. But I do not how I could release that blocked invoice...Is there any specific tcode or I have to go to the proposal & change the blocked reason from P to 'space'.
Thanks for all your time....

Hello Morgan,
Payment Release Process
Purpose
For each workflow variant, you can specify the amount from which a payment release should be triggered.
You can differentiate between one, two, and three-level release. This enables between one and three people to be involved in the release procedure, thus supporting both dual and triple control.
Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
Release approval procedure
(document type and amount for each workflow variant)
Assign persons with release authorization
In order to do this, you must first create release approval groups that can be entered in the customer and vendor master records.
Depending on these criteria and the release level, you can assign release authorizations in the form of organizational objects (job, position, organizational unit) in Customizing. If you do not define any criteria (such as release approval groups), the system takes the initial value of these criteria when the payment program is run. For example, if the system was unable to determine the release approval group, the release approval procedure and the employees with release authorization are determined on the basis of release approval group zero.
Process Flow
Minimum requirements:
The payment release function must be activated.
The relevant document type must be defined.
An item containing the following specifications must be created for employees with release authorization:
Workflow variant
Initial release approval path
Initial level
Maximum amount
Employees with release authorization can also be determined and assigned by user exits at each stage of the release approval procedure.
Result
If, when the payment run is made, the system could not determine an employee with release authorization, then it sends a message to the inbox of every person who has been assigned the task "payment release". Only after all these people have released the payment will the payment block be removed.
If a line item is refused for release, it is forwarded to the clerk who entered it for correction. After the document has been changed, the payment release procedure begins again. If changing the line items necessitates further actions, these must be defined within the Workflow component. The event CHANGED has been preconfigured for this purpose in the standard workflow model. If you run this event, the system assumes that the line item was rejected for payment. However, the item is NOT forwarded for correction to the clerk who entered it.
If an item is cleared before it is released, the payment release procedure is terminated (event CLEARED).
===========================================================
Workflow settings: The standard system contains several workflow models for payment release: One workflow framework (WS00400012) and three sub-workflows. In Customizing for Financial Accounting, you can specify which sub-workflow should be used when the workflow framework is run. You can also enter your own sub-workflows. They must however send and receive the same data from the workflow framework as the workflow models do.
You can use the standard sub-workflows (WS00400011, WS00400021, and WS00400022) to carry out a one, two, or three-level payment release procedure. If you require more than three release levels, you can copy the workflow models, enhance them and then enter the enhanced workflow definition in Customizing for Financial Accounting.
Event Linkage for the Event CREATED
If an amount requires a payment release, the event CREATED is triggered when a document is posted.
In this case, you must go into the workflow framework in the Workflow Workbench and enter the event linkage for this event, as described below:
Data for Event Linkage
Object type
BSEG
Event
CREATED
Receiver type
WS00400012
Receiver module
SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT
Check Function
Receiver type
FM (function module)
Global
X
Enabled
X
Standard Tasks for the Event CREATED
The standard system contains two standard tasks that are triggered from the workflow mailbox and used in the workflow models.
Payment release (line item)
Change (line item)
Creating and Assigning Organizational Objects for Payment Release
You must assign organizational objects (organizational units, jobs, positions) to the standard tasks. These organizational objects can be created either in Personnel Planning and Development, via the Workflow Workbench, or in Customizing for Financial Accounting (assignment of release authorization to employees).
When you create organizational units, you must assign them to jobs or positions. You can then assign users to the positions.
Examples for assignments:
Organizational unit X < Position Y < User
Organizational unit X < Job Y < Position Z < User
In Customizing for Financial Accounting, you can assign organizational objects to the workflow variant, the release approval path, the release approval level, and the amount. These objects then release the amount depending on these criteria.
The organizational objects for payment release defined in Customizing for Financial Accounting are automatically assigned in the background to the standard payment release task (TS00407862).
The organizational objects for changing line items after they have been rejected for payment must be assigned to the standard task "Change line item" (TS00407864), either in Personnel Planning and Development, or via the Workflow Workbench. Alternatively, you can define the task as a general task (Additional data -> Classification).
Changing Line Items
The workflow models described above all contain a pre-configured event (CHANGED), which triggers other events in the same fashion as a rejection does. This event can be triggered by change documents. You must define it via the Workflow Workbench.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

Agent problem in Payment Release Workflow - SPRO

Hi FI PRof's,
I am using the standard workflow WS00400012 for Payment Release.I am using two level approval process.If the invoice amount is less than 20,000 it should goto approver X and if it more than that it should do for X first and then to Y.
I have assigned the agents in SPRO Customizing as follows :
WF Variant - 2000 Approval path - 0001 Level - 1 R.Amt - 10,000 Agent - X
WF Variant - 2000 Approval path - 0001 Level - 2 R.Amt - 999999... Agent - Y
I am using the standard rule 00400125 for agent asssignment.
My Problem for single level release the agent is found(X) and WF is fine.
But while two level release the responsible agent is not found..What could be the problem. Am I missing any thing in Customization.

I can't check it since I don't have access to a SAP system here, but don't you have to define the first-level approvers separately for the two scenarios? Perhaps my memory is incorrect, but I seem to remember that you can have one first-level approver for the low amounts, and a different first-level approver for the high amounts.
This is mostly a chore that just requires additional maintenance since it seems "everyone" is using the same first-level approver independent of amount, but flexibility is highly regarded in SAP...

Intercompany Transaction help needed.

Dear Gurus,
I have a scenario where my client is doing intercompany transactions.
Company ABC is one company. They raise a PO and this comes to company def and automatically creates sales order.
Company def delivers the goods and now they have to raise the Invoice. At the time of invoice the currency type is in USD based on ABC company. Company DEF has to post the invoice in EURO. How can this be done? Also, they would like it to be flexible to choose any type of other currency in the future if they have too.
Please help.
Ali

Hi,
In this scenario company ABC is your cutomer, you have recieved sales order,wht ever curancy in that order you can process it.
If end customer (to whom u delivered material) is not your customer, this is company ABC customer.
So u need need not to bother about end customer currancy.

Work flow for payment release

Hi,
i hv configured payment release workflow for vendor payments, now the system is creating an auto block for invoices parked thru FB60. Now I desire to release the invoice for payment, so that my workflow gets triggered. But I dont know which Tcode to use to release the invoice for payment. If F110 can be used to relase the payment, kindly let me know how it is to be done. As I tried doing it but was not successfull.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi
If you have not assigned any agents to payment release task, then go to SAP Business workplace (ctrl+F12) and check in your inbox. You would have received an email through SAP workflow. Click on the email and it will direct you to release the invoice for payment.
Though you release the invoice it can not be paid unless you activate a task for "Reset Payment block"
You need to activate two tasks as below
Release for payment
and
Reset Payment block.
Once the invoice is released for payment then the status of BUS # changes to Released. You need to activate the task " Reset Payment block" with triggering event "Released".
Once the invoice is blocked for payment through workflow, the blcok can never be removed manually. This should be removed only through Workflow.

Payment Release Process (2 and 3 level approval)

We are looking for documentation related for Payment Release Procees on FI-AP
This process is linked to Workflow.
I only get this manuals, but these are oriented to only one level of approval
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-RP.pdf
Payment Release Process - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki
We need a clear procedure for two or three levels of approval
Many Thanks for your help!

By testing, we found that each level of approval is linked to a differente subworkflow
(by display the IMG documentation it is suggested the right one for each level
Thanks anyway
