The approval process for suppliers is not scoped in the business configuration.

Follow the below steps to scope this scoping question:

2. Select the Implementation Project
3. Select Edit Project Scope
4. Go to the Questions step
5. Expand General Business Data, then Business Partners, then Handling of Business Partners
6. Activate the feature by answering the question "Do you want to set up the approval process for suppliers?"
7. Select Next and then Finish

Note:

• Suppliers requiring approval can only be created directly within the SAP Business ByDesign system.
• Suppliers created via web services, data migration, or Excel upload do not go through the approval process and are automatically available for procurement.
• Until approval is granted, the supplier's lifecycle status remains "In Preparation". Once approved, the status changes to "Active".
• Suppliers pending approval can be viewed under the Potential Suppliers drop-down menu and will not appear in the All Suppliers list until approved.
