General Ledger / Journal posting Approval Workflow

Fri Jan 11 07:52:11 EST 2013

I don’t have that tab either on the initial screen.  It does appear when doing a display of a parked document.   My custom workflow updates the field “Release necessary” (XWFFR) in a background task at the start.   I think it was needed for when the approval screen is shown but I’m not 100% if that was the reason why.

Hi

That works just as suggested. Many Thanks.

One further question.

On my initial screen of transaction FB50, I see two tabs "Basic Data" and "Details"

I am told that i should be able to see a third tab called "Workflow", do you know if this is correct and how I can 'switch it on'. I have the standard workflow config switched on and it seems to be triggering ok and workflow is starting ok, its just this third tab that the customer wants to see.

I then have to modify things to allow a pull down choice of approver, so it may not be the last question !

Kind Regards

John,

You can use the BTE 1140 (tcode BF34) to restrict the post button when the sy-tcode = ‘FB50’ and BTE 2213 to issue the event to trigger the workflow.
  if …  or sy-tcode = 'FB50' or sy-tcode = 'FB50L'.
   t_exctab-okcod = 'BU'.         "Post Button ok code to exclude
   append t_exctab.
 endif.
SAP has a mechanism for releasing (SPRO Assing Release Approval Procedure for Parking Documents) but we didn’t use it …  you set some configuration by company code but it wasn’t restricting the FB50 or FB50L transactions.  It did turn off post button for FV50 for the configured company code.

Hi All

Best wishes for 2013.

I have a new requirement to start the year with, specifically to look at an Approval workflow for General Ledger postings.

Not my area, just wondered if anyone has any useful advice / collateral to get started. I believe it's transaction FB50, but I need to ensure the finance document posted is initially parked and the workflow initiated to seek approval, which would then remove the parked status.

Kind Regards
