Difference between Amount Release and Account Assignment Approval

[Yogesh Patil]

Hi Mark,
             It all depends on the business process and no of levels of approval required .Yes those are the configs to be done.In my case there was only one level approval required with approvers maintained in a z table having the following data :Dollar value,level,approver1,approver 2,manager (in case of escalation).I have copied  both the  main and the subworkflow to suit the custom requirement.let me knowwhat exactly the approval process is ?.
 
Thanks,
Yogesh

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

	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.

	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,
	
	       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
