Difference between Amount Release and Account Assignment Approval

[Mike Pokraka]

Hello Mark,

 

It is quite possible to require to separate approvals, this depends on how
you organisation works. Amount release equates to "are we getting our
money's worth?". Account assignment approval is more a case of "can we book
this against our Christmas party budget?". 

 as you can see, these are a totally different questions and can easily
require different people to answer.

 

As far as a z-table is concerned, I would consider that a last resort. Have
you considered rules or using the org structure? Perhaps if you explain what
you are trying to accomplish someone may have done something similar or we
can give you more input on that.

 

Cheers,

Mike

Hi All,

I'm bit new to FI Park Document Release Workflow. I need your help to
understand these terms and their significance. 

Our scenario is quite simple - we want Parked Documents to be approved(
released ) before they can be posted. And the approvers are determined based
on an approval matrix setup on a Ztable. I had a look at the Release
Procedures for Parked Documents in IMG, but I couldn't really understand the
difference between Amount Release and Account Assignment Approval. Do we
need to setup both to release a parked document or is that something is
optional? How can we determine approvers based on a Ztable. 

I think we are not going to use the Release for Payment feature of Parked
Document Approval Workflow since we don't want item by item release of
Parked Documents.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance. 


Regards,
Mark
