Releasing Blocked Documents

Use

In Agency Business Customizing for the billing document type, you can set a posting block for various agency documents. In doing this, you define that documents are not transferred to Financial Accounting until you release them all together at a later date. If the posting block is not set, documents are automatically transferred to Financial Accounting as soon as they are saved.

You can set a posting block for the following billing document types (document categories):

  • Settlement requests

  • Settlement request lists

  • Vendor billing documents

  • Posting lists

  • Remuneration lists

You can select documents for release according to certain criteria such as document number, invoicing party, posting date, and so on.

This procedure describes how you carry out a mass release of blocked documents to Financial Accounting.

Note Note

You can release documents individually. To do this, choose Release to Accounting in change mode for the agency document concerned.

End of the note.
