Symptom
- It is noticed that, when parking an invoice as completed in app "Create Supplier Invoice" or "Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced", if workflow for Parked Invoice as Complete (WS00800303) is active and running, it is still possible to post the invoice manually using the apps.
- When done, workflow is shown as "Cancelled" in the "Approval Details" Tab

Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create an invoice using, for example, Create Supplier Invoice App.
- Fill the required details.
- Click into "Save as Completed".
- Click into the Invoice number on the pop up shown, this will open the created invoice.
- The invoice header shows the workflow status as "In Approval":
- Click Post.
- The invoice has been posted and the workflow has been cancelled:
Cause
It is standard design that the "Post" button is visible and usable on all completed invoices if the user has the authorization to post invoices even though there is a workflow in process. This to ensure a completed invoice can be posted quickly if necessary.
Resolution
This is standard system design.
