3225160 - Disable Automatic Release for Invoice Requests

You want to disable the automatic release for all invoice request documents.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Select the Invoice Requests view.
3. Select any To Be Invoiced document.
4. Click Invoice - Advanced button.

The Automatic Release checkbox is selected.

Unfortunately it is not possible to change the default setting of the Automatic Release checkbox to unchecked.

There is no business configuration or activity which allows the editing of the options in the Invoice - Advance settings and the Adaptation or Perzonalization is not enabled for the Properties for the Invoice Creation screen.

When you select an Invoice Request in status To Be Invoiced and click on the Invoice - Advance, and then deactivate checkbox of the Automatic Release,  the change will be applied for all other invoice request documents which are in the queue to be invoiced for the user. However, once the browser is refreshed or the user log's of and then on again, the default setting will be restored and the checkbox for the Automatic Release will be active again.

This is the system expected behavior.

To disable the automatic release, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Select the Invoice Requests view.
3. Select any To Be Invoiced document.
4. Click Invoice - Advanced button.
5. Remove the check for Automatic Release checkbox.

1. If you click OK, the system will open a new window with the Invoice Document to be released.
2. If you click Cancel, the option selected will be saved and the invoice will not be created.

Note: The Automatic Release checkbox is data that is not stored in the system, hence every time that a refresh occurs in OWL, the Automatic Release checkbox will be selected again. This behavior occurs because the configurations set in the Invoice - Advance button are only a template to define the parameters to be immediately applied when generating the Customer Invoices.
