Triggering Workflow for F-53 for Approval/Rejection (SIMULATE BUTTON)

[former_member73884]

I have read number of posts but did not get proper solution, I am having one requirement

'I need to trigger workflow for F-53 for approving and rejecting payment like we have for F-50, F-60'. If it is not possible then how can we achieve approval/rejection process in PAYMENT process'.

I do not want to post the payment document(F-53) directly without approval/rejection process.

Please suggest step by step

Hi

The standard way of doing this is through F110 integrated with Bank Communication Management (BCM). You can have approvals set up based on amount, country etc. You should look at that option, if your client has the required licenses. It has functionality which will give good business outcomes as well.

The next best option is to use F110 rather than F-53. Now through authorization you can control, who can create proposal and who can post it. This can be done through the authorization object F_REGU_BUK, based on field FBTCH. So the control of payment proposal and payment posting will remain outside system

However, there is no standard workflow tool for F110. If you want automation, than look at BTE, OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00001819_P and develop a custom solution. That would be other way.

Thanks for your reply.

Our business requirement is to use F-53 and with approval process (tcode F110 is available with 3 steps and without simulate option).

Is there any way to trigger workflow in F-53 for approving and rejecting option. I do not want to use F110 as of now.

Hi

I have not known approval in F-53. You would have to look at F110 only for your requirement. You can also get the accounting entry simulation in the log for payment proposal and payment run, FYI.

Thanks & regards
