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:

Did you remember how can you get the solution?

Workflow for Reversing Invoice (FB08)

Hi Gurus,
              We are configuring Payment Release workflow for our project.
              I am using the standard Workflow WS00400012 for the same and its working fine.
              In the above mentioned workflow, if the payment release is rejected it will go the next step 'Change document line'
              to change the line item and post again.
              But now the requirement is, once the payment release is rejected system should do the invoice reversal for that
              document (FB08).
              Is this possible by customizing the standard workflow ?
              If so, is there any business object or workflow to reverse invoice through FB08.
              Please suggest me.
               Thanks in advance,
               Santosh.

Hi Suresh,
               Thanks for the reply.
               I have checked those methods to display and edit documents.
               Actually they are calling the Transaction code directly and we can change the data manually and save.
               But we want the workflow should take care of the reversing invoice without manual interaction.
               Can i use any BAPI or FM in my custom method to meet my requirement ?
                  Thanks in advance,
                  Shyam.

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

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.

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

SAP Workflow for vendor invoice is posting into past?

Dear experts
I have a heavy problems with the workflow for vendor invoices. The following example demonstrates it:
I have created a vendor invoice on 1st of December 2011.The responsible person has checked and released this invoice on 3rd January 2012. In Customizing it is setup that posting date will be overwritten with system date.
Does anybody has an idea why it is not posted in January 2012?
What does the workflow? It is posting that invoice with posting date 1st December 2011 not with 3rd January. If I have a closer look into the head of the SAP document the following parameters are shown: document date: 1st December, posting date: 1st December, entry date: 3rd January.
Does anybody has an idea why entry date is 3rd January?
Thanks in advance
Udo

Dear expert
It is not standard behavior for the posting date to overwrite the document date - at least its not something that I've ever come across. I'm wondering if there is a custom substitution on your system that is overwriting the document date . Check t-code OBBH. The substitution is most likely at the document header level.

Error in Payment Release Workflow in the task Determine Subworkflow

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.

Std workflow for Parked Invoices?

hi guys
are there any std workflows for parked invoices? Our requirement is that once the Finance clerk creates a customer or vendor invoice he should only be able to park it and not post the invoice. Once the invoice is parked then the system should trigger a workflow and a notification neeeds to be sent to the approver to approve the invoice. Once it is done the finance clerk will post the invoice.
I switched on the event trace and did a trace on while creating a parked invoice. No event is triggered when the document is parked. If i post the document the event POSTED of object FIPP is triggerd. So since we dont have any std events raised when a document is parked is it possible to have a workflow?

Hi,
The event FIPP.CREATED is raise via the customizing (SPRO)
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting global setting -> document -> document parking -> create workflow variant for parking documents.
Assign co.code to a workflow variant for parking documents.
Have a look at ws10000051.

Ronit.

Payment made twice for an invoice

Payment made twice for an invoice.We have posted an invoice on 23.11.2008 in a company code for a vendor,then F110 was run on 24.11.2008 and was paid.Then again on 25.11.2008 payment was done for the same invoice.The clearing doc of payment run on 25.11.2008 is reflecting against the invoice.Hence reversed the payment done on 24.11.2008.
Pls let me know how can p[ayment happen twice for an invoice thru F110.

hi,
It'll never possible to make a payment for the secondtime, unless you reset the earlier payment run in SAP.
I hope U have reset the payment done on 24.11.2008. thats the reason why, clearing doc related to 25.11.20087 is displayed against in the invoise. please check.

Price variance workflow for blocked invoices in MM purchasing

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing price variance workflow for blocked invoices. We built a custom workflow to
take care of the routing requirement of the customer.
We also did necessary customization defining the tolerance limits for price variance. Before testing the workflow wanted to check events in SWEL and its is found that system doesn't raise any event for price/ quantity block and hence the workflow is not triggered at all.
Event trace active flag is set in SWELS. I am not able to figure out what we are missing.The invoice gets created correctly with the price/quantity blocks and blocked invoices are available when we see in Tcode 'MRBR'.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Edited by: srinivas bejjanki on Jan 29, 2009 10:34 PM

Hello,
So you are absolutely sure the event trace is on. If you try SWUE with some other event, you see the entry in SWEL, dated a few minutes ago, correct?
When you try SWUE with BUS2081.BlockedPrice does it give any message?
Does SWUE work with any other BUS2081 event?

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.
Rgds

Hi,
You had any response about this problem or able to solve it?
I'm having the same current problems and have not found a solution!
