Custom AP payment approval process

Question

hello,
in AP module, we currently process payments via batch-payment which in the end, generates a txt file with account numbers & amounts of the suppliers.
before this file is generated i would like somebody to approve the generation of this file after looking at the payments made.
has anybody implemented any workaround / customized solutions? im only looking for ideas.
thanks.
ps: im already aware of AME. its not possible to use it in our place.

Hi,
APP ( T.code F110) is used to make payments enmasse for one or more vendors/customers.
We can also group vendors/customers for more than 1 co.code for payments.
The entore config for APP is done in capsule T.code FBZP.
Here are the steps:
1. Set up paying and sending co.codes( In case of cRoss co. payments paying and sending co.codes will ahve to be different)
2.Set up a payment method for country and co.code 1 each for outgoing and incoming payments.
3.Define house banks and set up bank accounts for payment method with relative ranking.
4.In F110 :
define the parameters like co,code;vendors etc
craete and edit a payment proposal where you can select the open items to be paid
create and run a payment run
Hope this helps.
I would also recommend to go thru SAP help and also search this forum for further notes and specific queries in F110.
Pls assign points if this info was helpful.
Thanks,
Vamsi
