Approval for Payments

Need to have Approval only for Payment through Wire Transfer only for the new/non-recurring vendors
Any pointers to acvhieve this ...
Thank you .

Hi,
there is no workflow available for configuration at payment stage .... It would be redundant to approve the Invoice for payment and again approve the payment ....For your case, you can configure Invoice approval workflow in such a fashion that approval notification would be sent whenever the payment method is WIRE and the vendor is non recurring ...(There needs to be some value made available for this to perform a validation)...

Conditional approval for payment

Hi Experts,
wanna set approval for on- account outgoing payment . Tried following queries but not working. Kindly suggest the correct one
SELECT (Case When (select $[ovpm.nodocsum.0]) > 0 then 'TRUE' Else 'FALSE' End) TF FROM OVPM where cardcode=convert(varchar(20),(Select $[OVPM.cardcode.numeric]),103)
SELECT (Case When (select $[ovpm.nodocsum.0]) > 0 then 'TRUE' Else 'FALSE' End) TF FROM OVPM where cardcode=convert(varchar(20),(Select $[OVPM.cardcode.numeric]),103) and docnum =(select $[OVPM.docnum.0])

Hi,
Try this:
SELECT distinct 'TRUE' FROM dbo.OVPM T0
where $[ovpm.nodocsum.number\] > 0 and T0.docnum = $[$3.0.0\]
Thanks,

GRN mismatch and invoice blocked for payment

Hi Team,
We have an issue with regards to Invoices not being allocated to the right GRN's. This causes some invoices to be paid without approval, and other invoices that have been approved to be blocked for payment.
According to standard SAP requires the total GRN quantity to match the total invoice quantity in order for the Invoices to be released for payment. Unfortunately many get stuck in a payment cycle and invoices are not released for payment, for example;
We have an order of a quantity of 100
We receive an invoice (qty 10) this is posted
We complete the GRN (qty 10)
This should release for payment but unfortunately just prior to the bacs run and running MRBR to unblock any invoices we post another invoice for a qty of 10.
Now the total GRN and Inv values mismatch and no invoices will be paid.....
The cycle goes on and on and more invoices are blocked for payment, even though some GRN's are completed.
where the GRN value is lower (75) than what has been invoiced (78). In order to rectify this I need to go into each individual invoice, check the delivery note number and match it off against the GRN. When I find an invoice that doesn't match a GRN, in most cases these have taken an incorrect GRN and have been paid. I have to chase for the GRN to be completed or for the invoice to be removed. Once the totals match I then have to pray no more invoices are posted until the BACs run has gone!!
Can we apply a fix to force those invoices that match a GRN be approved for payment even if the total's don't match (so the matches will occur line by line and not from the totals)?
Thanks

Hi,
You can acheive this by setting GR based IV indicator in PO. hence system won't allow to do invoice with out GR. system will ask quntity match between GR and IR. Ultimately no mismatches will occur. So do GR first and next IR by setting this indicator in PO.I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.

Please start the report RSWOGIND, set also the checkbox "generate all

Approval for F110 after payment proposal

Hi,
I am having a new requirement for F110 tcode, before payment run and after payment proposal somebody has to see the vendor, customer and bank detail etc., and he shall approve it or reject and once he approve which ever item is approved will automatically proceed for payment run.
I found some workflow but it will trigger only,
1. Single customer.
2. Single vendor.
I found business transaction event but it will run for only customer.
I need some badi or something to fulfill my requirement.
Thanks in advance.

hi all,
i started this project again after so long break....,
my steps to complete this task-
i copied the program / report- sapf110o to z* and started building the whole scenario. and will try to assign the workflow as well which is related to miro , ws20000397(but still not sure).
logic:
only for invoice payment.
only date as selection my program will show all the proposal on that date. in second screen vendor level approval is available and in third level detailed level approval is available.and in third screen you can cross check accounting document or display miro.
it has three level approval, will update table and this will trigger workflow(while running f110) so need to do some enhancement on f110 as well to trigger workflow.
thanks and reg,

FPY1 - Approval of Payment Run for Refunds

Hi everyone!,
We would like to be able to approve an entire Payment Run (FPY1) for refunds before creating the Payment Medium (DME).
We already know that the approval for a refund processed through the transaction FPY1 can be done Individually by document/s with a workflow. However, is there any other workflow that could be used for approving an entire Payment Run?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cordially

Thanks Bill for your quick response,
Unfortunately, simulation in this case couldn’t work because it’s not really a proposal, and the total amount could change when the payment run is executed in real mode.

Best way of approving invoices within the SAP system for payment

Hello Guru,
In the past, my client used to send invoices from the unmatched report to the appropriate department head for approval. This approval was recorded in the notes which stayed with the invoice and it would automatically assigned ID and date and time to the note. There for awhile this process did not work (due to personnel changes and software upgrades) and we would print the invoice have them sign the paper copy.
Now my client have the software on all necessary computers, so they want to use the electronic approvals again. My client can’t send the invoices to the department head as a ‘send reference’ to keep the approval with the invoice. However, they can send the invoice as ‘send document’ which creates a separate attachment called "note.txt" but I can’t see where it is maintained with the invoice.
Please advise on the method to be using because my client would prefer to use the "send reference" they have been using before the upgrades?
Thank you.

Hello!
You can use standard Release for Payment Functionality. This functionality can be configured as part of accounts payable configuration. Main configuration steps are as follows:
- create workflow varian for release for payment (OBWA); you can also use standard SAP workflow variants;
- assign company code to workflow variants;
- define release approval groups for release of payment (OBWB);
- define release approval paths for release for payment (OBWC);
- assign release approval paths for release for payment (OBWD);
- assign release approval procedure for release for payment (OBWE);
- define relevant document types for release for payment (OBWQ);
- define users with authorization for payment release (OBWP);
- define payment block reasons for payment release (OB27).
I think these are more or less the main steps. More can be found in the configuration documentation;
Please also check this guide - Payment Release Process - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki;
Hope, it will help!

Approval for Incoming,Outgoing Payments and Deposits

Hi guys,
I need to set an approval whenever the user wants to close or cancel Incoming Payments,OutGoing Payments and Deposits(Just Right Click on the Document and Close/Cancel).
I tried to get approval when adding the above documents but not able to set for cancel/Close.
Pls tell me how to achieve this..
Thanks,
Vams

Hi Vams,
As suggested by Gordon, you won't be ab;e to trigger an approval for this. SP may only block if some one tries to cancel or close the document. You can block the same by using authorizations. So why don't you directly use authorizations??
Thanks,
Joseph

Approval For Cash Payments

Hello All,
I am trying to set an approval for all cash payments where the amount involved is more than 5000. I am creating and using following query. But the system allows to save the document without triggering the approval. I have checked using SQL Profiler, the system is executing the query, and it seems to be executing fine, still the approval procedure is not triggered.
SELECT DISTINCT 'TRUE'
FROM OVPM
WHERE OVPM.DocNum = $[OVPM.DocNum]
AND OVPM.Series = $[OVPM.Series]
AND OVPM.CashSum > 5000
Please suggest what is wrong here, and how to resolve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Jain

Table/field/report showing approver of payment run in F110

After reviewing the payment proposal in F110, supervisor approves the Payment Run by clicking u201CStart immediatelyu201D in Schedule Payment pop-up.
For audit purposes, we need to view who approved specified payment runs. Anyone knows the table, field, or report would contain that information?
Appreciate any help.

They're a document that records when things get changed. "Things" includes pretty much anything from material master to sales orders, hence "general".
But It isn't enabled by default for all tables, mainly for performance reasons. Is it enabled for the relevant REG.... table(s) in the data dictionary? You might need to check with a basis guy or abapper.
I'd say enabling it is simpler than modding the standard programs and tables, like by adding fields to REGUV.

F-47 park and post option OR F110 block option for payment requests

HI experts,
current business scenario:
F-47 payment request by AP users
F110 payment run (including payment requests) by manager
so between F-47 & F110 system doesnt trigger for payment approvals
Business requirement:
After F-47 system should trigger workflow to concerned manager for approval
OR
At F110 (payment run) system should proceed after approvals if payment requests includes in the run
Limitation:
Business doesnt use F-48 ( post down payment) because check is processed by Bank
Pls suggest workflow after F-47 or at F110 which wil intimate the concerned manager
and stops &/ block the concerned payment till approval.
regards
Edited by: melgibson on Jan 16, 2012 8:30 AM

Hi,
Now i got your point. your requirement can be achived using a ABAP development.
1) Create a Z table to store down payment requests (with all fields, those you use in F-47) and this table needs to be maintained via a Ztcode. (ZF-47). As soon as the user enter the DP request data in Ztcode, system should trigger the WORKFLOW and will send these requests to the manager's SAP Inbox. So once the manager approves few of them, those requests only will be processed by a Zprogram, which will create SAP standard DP requests using F-47 in background.
Note: Please make sure that, your Ztable should have one special field called STATUS, which will be depending on manager's approval. If the manager rejects it, then status should be automatically updated to the Ztable.
2) anyhow bank will automatically creates DP for all F-47 requests, which were pre approved above.
This logic should work and fits to your requirement.
Cheers,
Srinu

Workflow for payment release

Hello ,
I have done the configuration of workflow variant for payment release but the invoice with the payment block can be paid without any release approval .
Find below the configuration done for it . SPRO-Accounts Receivable and Payable-Business Transactions-Release for payment
1.t.code PPoce: Users is assigned to each position and this was assigned to approval path
2. Create workflow variant
subworkflowWS00400012
3.Assign Company code to workflow variant
4.Define Release Approval Groups for Release for Payment
5.Define Release Approval Paths for Release for Payment
6.Assign Release Approval Paths for Release for Payment
7.Assign Release Approval Procedure for Release for Payment
2010-2010-1000-inr-WS00400012-WS00400011
9.Define Users with Authorization to Payment Release
11.Define Payment Block Reason for Payment Release ( payment block P selected with a tick in Not changeable )
Then in the vendor master i have inputted the relase group also and the payment term which is having the block .
While executing f-02 , debiting the expense and crediting the vendor , I get the following error Line item not relevant for payment release for which i changed the message to warning and saved it . but when i executed f-53, it doesnt go for approval .
But in my inbox . the item is flowed with red colour and the erro log is
Error in workflow Customizing of payment release
Message no. FP162
Diagnosis
The system could not determine a subworkflow for the payment release. Check the workflow Customizing for the payment release, in particular the settings for transaction OBWE and the preceeding settings.
The message is output from the method SUBWFDETERMINE of the BOR object BSEG.
System Response
The workflow was started, but the system could not create an executable dialog workitem for the line item payment release. However, you cannot release the document directly, it must be released in the workflow. A subworkflow for the payment release must be determined in the sample workflow WS00400012; the clerks are determined in role 00400125.
Role 00400125 is based on the function module PR_WF_ACTOR1_DET.
Procedure
Change the payment release Customizing in Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable Accounting. SAP delivers a sample subworkflow for payment release, WS00400011.
Procedure for System Administration
Restart the incorrect workflow (transaction SWPR) once you have maintained the Customizing for the payment release.
Kindly guide me . and let me know which setting i have missed .
thanks

Hi,
Have you tested those workflows separately? I can't even view WS00400012 in my ECC 6.0 system!
The workflows supplied by SAP are usually pretty bare-bones. More ofthen than not you have to copy them and fix them up.
You might be able to test them via SWUS or trigger them via SWUE.
If you create a new copy, remember to put that in the customizing.
hope this helps
Paul
