3321402 - Unable to Define Approval Process for Posted Supplier Invoices

You would like to set up an approval process for the posted invoices for few of your vendors.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Application and User Management work center
2. Go to Approval Process view
3. Select the Supplier Invoice approval process
4. You want to define approval for a posted invoice

In a standard scenario, currently it is not possible to set up an approval process for the posted supplier invoices. It is only possible to define the approval process before it got posted.

Like purchase orders, we do not have item approvals after it is ordered. For the posted invoices, journal entry will be already created and hence it is not possible to trigger the approval process for the posted invoices. May be this can be taken as a new requirement and you can post in ideas forum - https://influence.sap.com/SAPByDesign. Later product management team will check the feasibility and validate the request.
