SAP ByD - Supplier invoice ready to be paid option

[former_member788638]

Hi SAP community,

Today, our supplier accountant must contact every Cost Center Manager to ask them if the supplier invoices are "Ready to be paid".

Once validation received, the accountant proceed to the supplier payment.

Do you know there is a dedicated option to authorize a supplier invoice to be paid?

For instance, a tickbox in the supplier invoice "Ready to be paid" which can be displayed in a report. In such a case the accountant can check the report and he/she will be able to know which one are ready to be paid, without sending an email.

This behaviour shoud be, in my opinion, a native feature in SAP.

Thanks in advance for you answer, or experience share with me,

Dear Sahalya,

Thank you for your answer!

I already read this guide and from my understanding, this approval process in only for Supplier Invoice Posting. Which does not fit my need.

I need a validation at the supplier invoice payment. Not posting.

Is there a similar process?

Best Regards,
Clément
