Automated A/PApproval Process

[Carson, Wayne]

Hello Everyone,
 
In the next 6 months, we will be starting a new A/P approval workflow.  We
will be using an iXOS scanner for capturing the invoice information.  For
those familiar with iXOS, we will be using an early archiving scnerario.
The scanning of the invoice is done first followed by a workflow that
triggers the A/P payment transaction.  I know there are 2 different
transactions for payment, one of which is the Invoice Verification.
 
Today we go through an approval process.  I am assuming that it is based on
some sort of dollar amount.  We haven't done a formal requirements document
yet.
 
I would like to know what are the standard workflows that I should be
looking reviewing and if anyone has a skeleton project plan similiar to this
project.  This is a high visability project and I want to make sure it works
right the first time.  Is there anything provided "out of the box" with SAP
or do I have to build everything from scratch?
 
Thank you,
