Documentation
Definition
Use
This field displays the approval level that an item has reached in the approval process. An item can only be paid after it has been approved at a final approval level.
Dependencies
Items that are pending approval are always assigned an approval level.
If an item is assigned to a payment release list, but has not been approved at any level, the field displays the initial value (0).
In the IMG activity Define Approval Levels, you can define:
- Approval levels
You can define as many approval levels as you require.
- A description of each approval level
- Final approval levels
When you or another approver approve an item at a final approval level, the item status changes to Released for Payment.
- The actions that approvers can perform at each approval level
In the IMG activity Disable Clearing and Reversal for Approval Levels, you can define that approvers are not authorized to clear or reverse documents at certain approval levels.
In the IMG activity Disable Document Changes for Approval Levels, you can choose the document fields that approvers are not authorized to change at certain approval levels.
