<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hi Liu</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I presume that you are refering to a matched invoice =
(object type BUS2081) in which case the approval (in theory) should =
occur at purchase order (or requisition). I noticed in the SAP help =
that in 4.6C parking of LIV invoices is possible and that there are =
some standard delivered workflow templates built around this. You may =
want to look into going down this path.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Dear all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>We want to implement Payment Release workflow for all =
outgoing invoices. One</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>possible way that an invoice can be created is =
through Logistics Invoice</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Verification (LIV). The scenario should be like =
this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>1) LIV is created and blocked. At this moment, the FI =
invoice is blocked for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>payment with indicator 'R'.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>2) Once LIV is released, we hope the FI invoice is =
blocked by the Payement</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Release Indictor and the payment release workflow is =
triggered.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>We are on 4.6C. We have configured the payment =
release workflow for the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>corresponding document type. It works fine if the FI =
invoice (of the same</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>doucment type) is created directly (instead of =
through LIV).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Has anybody implemented this scenario before? Any =
thoughts will be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>appreciated. TIA.</FONT>
</P>
