Activate the flexible workflow for supplier invoices.

The flexible workflow allows you to optimize the approval process for supplier invoices. You can use the app Manage Workflows for Supplier Invoices to configure the approval by one or more persons responsible. For example, an invoice can be blocked for payment due to variances in one or more item. If a workflow with one or more steps is activated and the configured preconditions fulfilled, the approval process is initiated.

Indicator: Check Authorizations for Flexible Workflow Steps

You can set this indicator so that the system checks authorizations for the flexible workflow steps.

If you select this indicator, users with the My Inbox role and with one of the following authorizations are allowed to approve the corresponding workflow steps, depending on the company code:

  • Workflow for Parked Invoice as Complete:
  • Create (M_RECH_BUK, Activity: 01), or

  • Execute (M_RECH _WF, Activity: 16)

  • Workflow for Blocked Invoice:
  • Release (M_RECH_BUK, Activity: 43), or

  • Execute (M_RECH_WF, Activity: 16)

If you deselect the indicator, approvers need the My Inbox role and the Dislay authorization (M_RECH_BUK, Activity: 03).
