Supplier Invoice Approval Workflow
Supplier invoice approval workflow allows you to implement a workflow to approve supplier invoices. You can implement supplier invoice approval workflow for invoices submitted for approval after creating the invoice or later after receiver matching when the status is no longer initial.
In this release, a Submit for Approval field has been added in Supplier Invoice Create. It is only visible when supplier invoice approval workflow is enabled at entity level. When the invoice status is defined as Invoice Status Before Approval in Invoice Approval Transitions, you can select the Submit for Approval field to submit the invoice for approval. If the invoice has another status, the field is disabled. You must select the field manually for the invoice to be submitted for approval.
When supplier invoice approval workflow is activated, you cannot create an invoice with the status Approved. After you submit a supplier invoice for approval, you can no longer modify any supplier invoice fields.
