Definition

Use

When you select this flag, you activate a two-stage approval procedure that involves an analyst and manager, to check invoices. This reduces the number of invoices that can be posted directly to accounting.

Dependencies

You have to modify the authorizations for the analyst and manager in the authorization object 'O_OI_IAP'. These authorizations restrict the scope of the following transactions for the analyst and manager:

The analyst uses Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing Document -> Change (transaction VF02). This authorization allows the analyst to change invoices and release them to accounting.

The manager uses Logistics -> Sales -> Billing -> Billing Document -> Blocked Billing Docs (transaction VFX3). This authorization allows the manager to release invoices to accounting.
