Difference between Amount Release and Account Assignment Approval

[Yogesh Patil]

Hi  Mark,
 If you need just the parked documented to   be released by the approvers maintained in the Z table you can use amount release and not account assignment.all this config is  available in transaction OBWA,OBWB,OBWC,OBWE.I just have completed a similar requirement with a client.Lemme know if you need more information.
 
Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.
We just want an overall approval and we don't want two separate approvals. And I'm bit confused about which one would do the job, though both the approval subworkflows use the same method RELEASE of FIPP for account assignment approval and amount release approval. 

The approvers are stored in a Ztable with the following data in it

Client
Company Code
Currency
Requester
Document Type - eg. KR, KG
Amount
Level
Approver

and we want the approvers to be fetched from this table that can be maintained by an administrator. 

Thanks,
Mark

	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,

	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
