Service Acceptance
Use
After services that have been performed for your firm have been recorded in the service entry sheet, one or more responsible persons (depending on the system settings) must check that the work is satisfactory and formally accept the services.
Integration
The accepted entry sheet constitutes the basis for the process of
Invoice Verification for Services. The account assignment objects are charged at the time of acceptance. When the service entry sheet is accepted, a logistics document (material document) is generated.Prerequisites
You maintain the authorizations for service acceptance under Tools ® Administration ® User maintenance.
Features
The following procedures are available to you for accepting services performed by service providers:
The person responsible accepts the service entry sheet at the touch of a key.
You can make service acceptance subject to a release procedure, in which various departments or individuals have to indicate their approval. The document is not regarded as accepted until the last release point has released it.
You set up such a release procedure in Customizing for External Services Management under Define Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet.
You can find out which release procedure an entry sheet is subject to in the service entry transaction via Goto ® Entry sheet ® Release strategy.
