Re: Release for Payment
Hi SAP Gurus,
I have to configure a release strategy for payment for vendors. I have done required configuration in spro in Financial Accounting -> ARAP -> Business Transactions - > Release for payment. But I feel some where somthing is missied out and the customization is not working. I am not much clear about "Define Users with Authorization to Payment Release" and here something goes wrong I feel.
Can anyone pls elucidite me on this.
I will definitely reward points for this.
Thanks.

Hi
If you want to give authorization to few users, you need to list them in the follwoing step. They will be able to release payment."Define users with authorization to payment release".
If you dont mention any user details here then any user who has authorization can involve in payment release.

Report to show invoice documents those were released for payment
Hello Gurus,
Could anybody help on the below requirement?
Is it possible to run a report that would list invoices that were released for payment that had had a block on them?? Example: an invoice is waiting on a goods receipt and it is posted. Once the receipt is posted the Invoice Exception Analyst release the block on MRBR. Is there a report that we can run to show what was released on any certain day or period??
Thanks,

We are using Tcode FV60 for Park Vendor invoice
We are trying to post the Document thru Tcode FBV0 , But the Post field is grey and system shows error: func not possible as document is in not released. The Workflow is not getting triggered. And hence its not possible to release the doc.
The workflows have been activcated
We have done Eventlinkage and activated it.In future when you post question please do some formatting. It seems like a novel.
Have you checked in SWEL whether the event CREATED of Business Object BSEG getting triggered. I hope you have activated the linkage between event and workflow from PFTC or SWE2 transaction code.

A/P Invoice cannot be released for payment
Hi Everyone,
I got this issue.
A/P Invoice cannot be released for payment
Please help me out and give me the reasons for this problem.
thanks.
Proper points will be awarded.When you run your payment program Go to Edit- Proposal- edit
double click on the vendor, double click on the document then you will see payment block field it should be empty.
The other method could be go to FK02 and select the vendor your paying and delete the payment block.

I need help on standard workflow of Release for payment
Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to use WF WS00400011 standard provided by SAP through the PFTC and I activated it, inform a user that I created called WF different from my user, who will be responsible in the task standand (TS00407862) and also went to basic data -> and activated the early events following entry [BO: BSEG: CREATED].
I ended up completing the settings on FINANCIAL ACCOUNT -> ACCOUNTS RECEV PAYABLE -> RELEASE OF PAYMENT.
Was also includes SWE2 - Event Type Linkages and itemizing:
[BSEG CREATED ws00400011] linkage with the active flag.
When I registed the document by FB60 or F-43 the financial document is blocked ok, but unfortunately it is not sent any Workflow / any email to the user responsible for approving. I run the transaction SWEL to check the entries , following entries:
BSEG CREATED 13.06.2011 13:20:27 WS00400011 [status gree] SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
BSEG CREATED 13.06.2011 13:20:27 WS00400011 [status red] feed back after error
BSEG CREATED 13.06.2011 13:20:27 WS00400011 [status info] event put in queue
I have open the item [red] and I observed a error: "Import container contains errors (any obligatory elements are missing?" message code = SWF_RUN594.
And here I am trying to solved but are very difficult because I dont have any documentation and this process is difficult to Debug. I'll be happy with any guidance received.
Regards,
JoaoChaiphon Pulnit,
Thank you for your reply and yet dispense time to help.
Reply
I removed the entry in WSE2 WS00400011 (linkage) As your guidance and just let WS00400011. Then I tried launching a financial document with the vendor containing group relationed with the corresponding sequence of release, but still not working, or even no mail was sent, and checked in the workplace no workflow created in the user responsible for approving.
Doubts
How do I know that the workflow ws00400012 is related or connected with ws00400011? and how can I check if they really ws00400011 has the logic to perform an e-mail to the approver?

Dear Gurus,
Please help on the below issue.I had made standard release for payment configuration and assigned the workflows.When am doing vendor invoice work flow is triggering but getting an error.
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.
Need your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohdsams

Kindly guide me . and let me know which setting i have missed .
thanksHi,
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

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,
KrishnaHi
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. -

Now hte invoice is getting blocked automatically and i am getting the error as
Line item not relevant for payment release
Message no. F5783
for which i changed the error message to warning mgs and saved the invoice .
But while making the payment i was not getting any payment block. I was able to make the payment
Actually I should get the payment block while I am making the payment and then i should release it through FB13 .
Please let me know if I am wrong .

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)?
ThanksHi,
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.
