Symptom
The approval process for payments is configured in the system; however, it behaves inconsistently based on the type of transaction.
- When a payment is processed using a payment method such as New Outgoing Bank Transfer, it correctly triggers the approval process.
- However, when a payment is processed using New Bank Payment Advice, it bypasses the approval process and does not go for approval.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Payment Management work center.
- Select the Payment Monitor view.
- Search and find the respective Bank Payment Advice.
- The document is not sent for approval.
Cause
Currently, SAP Business ByDesign does not support an approval process for Bank Payment Advice.
