Difference between Amount Release and Account Assignment Approval

[Mark Peterson]

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for your reply. If I need only the amount release then what do I need
to configure? I have done the following configurations.
1. I have created a Workflow Variant (with the Posting Release checkbox
checked and in the Subworkflow field WS10000052)
2. and assigned it to a Company Code
3. and defined the Release Approval Paths
4. and assigned the Release Approval Path for Parking Documents
5. and assigned the Release Approval Procedure for Parking Documents( with
Rel. levels 3 and Swf amnt rel. WS10000054 and Swf pmnt rel. empty)

Is this all right and done or do I need to do something else? Can you please
explain how you configured and how you determined agents based on Ztable?

Thanks,
Mark
