LIV to Payment Release integration

[Jian Liu]

Hi,
 
We want the approval in FI through Payment Release workflow (object type
BSEG). That means once the parked LIV invoice is relesed, we hope the FI
Payment Release workflow could be triggered. According a colleague's
experiences in 4.5, the triggering is automatic upon LIV is released. It
seems that version 4.6C (our current implementation) doesn't support this
functionality. Can anybody advice this?
 
There are some standard SAP templates for LIV parking and release. We are
trying to make all payment approval in FI no matter the invoice is from LIV
or by direct AP transactions.
 
Thanks for the advice.
 
Best Regards,
Liu Jian

>One possible way that an invoice can be created is through Logistics
>Invoice Verification (LIV). The scenario should be like this:
 
>1) LIV is created and blocked. At this moment, the FI invoice is blocked
>for payment with indicator 'R'.
>2) Once LIV is released, we hope the FI invoice is blocked by the Payement
>Release Indictor and the payment release workflow is triggered.

>We are on 4.6C. We have configured the payment release workflow for the
corresponding document type. It works fine if the FI invoice (of the same
doucment type) is created directly (instead of through LIV).

>Has anybody implemented this scenario before? Any thoughts will be
appreciated. TIA.
