Supplier invoice keeps in status 'Delayed Verification in Process' and/or is triggered an error message.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
2. Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view.
3. Search for ABC (ABC represents for the supplier invoice ID).

The supplier invoice is stuck in 'Delayed Verification in Process' status. 

It may also trigger an error message: "Document will be posted in background processing after delayed check. Time-intensive checks and possible assignments of deliveries to background processing are postponed."

The possible reasons for this scenario will be listed below:

Cause 1: The scoping question "Do you want to use delayed verification as supplier invoice entry capability?" is currently scoped. Once this question is scoped, all the Invoice documents will created with the status 'Delayed Verification in Process', even if they have less than 100 deliveries. In this case the system assigns the delivery items to the invoice items in the background after the user posts the Invoice. Therefore the time to create an Invoice is reduced.

Cause 2: When user selected 100 deliveries or more, the system pops up a screen. Then the user clicks in "Net Invoice with Delayed Verification" option. It can happen for deliveries within a single Purchase Order or different Purchase Orders for the same Supplier.

Cause 3: The reason for this issue is that when background job tried to lock this invoice, this invoice is locked by another user. Hence system couldn't acquire the lock. System would try to process it for 7 times. If all 7 retries were failed to acquire the lock, the invoice will keep in status 'Delayed Verification in Process'.

The resolutions will be listed below:

First resolution: Try to follow an workaround.
