Symptom
Supplier invoice approval is defined as Approval by Cost Assignment, however the approver is not displayed correctly on voided supplier invoice.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Open the affected supplier invoice and navigate to Approval tab.
- Although defined multiple approvers, there is only one approver displays in the approver list and rejects the approval.
Cause
Initially, the approval task goes to all the cost center managers as expected and displays all the manager's name under supplier invoice approval tab.
Once one of the approvers rejects the invoice, the approval task of the others will be in canceled status and the approver who has done the rejection will be the only approver displaying under supplier invoice approval tab, even if you have checked 'All Approvals Required' and 'Skip Reapproval' in approval process. Meanwhile, the invoice turns into Void status.
Resolution
This is expected behavior in the system.
