3155242 - Journal Entry Posted Before Payment Approval Process

When a payment is executed, journal entry for the payment is posted before the payment approval is sent to the approver.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Payment batch is created successfully. Batch can be automatically generated via one of the following procedures:

1. Bank transfer
2. Payment run using app Manage Automatic Payments
3. Free form payment
4. Others.

This is the product standard behavior. 

When a payment is executed, payment batch is created indicating that the payment run is complete, and the batch is awaiting approval by the approver. The creation of the cross-payment run in bank communication management (BCM Batch) is done automatically after the payment is initiated. With approval process, payments are to be reviewed / approved / rejected by designated approvers, meaning payment batch will be reviewed and submitted if approved. For all batches that went successfully through the approval process, the payment medium file is created. The payment medium file is sent to bank, and the bank sends a payment status message stating that the bank has accepted.
