Symptom
The approval process is already in place, and the status normally changes from 2 – In Approval to 3 – Ready for Transfer. However, in this case, it moved directly to 4 – In Transfer.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Payment Management work center.
- Go to Payment monitor view.
- Select All Payments in dropdown
- Search for payment 123 (123 refers to payment ID).
- The payment status is in 'In Transfer'.
- Upon checking the Changes tab, it is visible that the status moved directly from 2 – In Approval to 4 – In Transfer, skipping the step 3 – Ready for Transfer.
Cause
The checkbox “Execute Immediately” was selected during the creation of the payment. As a result, the payment skipped Step 3 – Ready for Transfer and moved directly to Step 4 – In Transfer.
Resolution
The “Execute Immediately” checkbox should not be selected if the standard process flow needs to be followed.
