Status

Meaning

Held (Held Parked, Held Entered)

The current status of the document was saved. Only minimal checks were performed, for example, to check if the company code exists. No updates to Financial Accounting were performed. You can use the status to differentiate between invoices that have been held and parked or held and entered . This applies dependent on whether you have held the invoices from the transaction Hold Invoice or Enter Invoice .

Parked

The invoice document is missing some information that is required for posting. The balance might not be zero.

The preliminary checks and updates were performed, such as the informative purchase order history, data for advance tax returns, and logs of document changes.

Parked Released

If a completely parked document cannot be posted at the time of release in the workflow, the document receives the status parked released . Afterwards, you can process the document as you would any other completely parked document, both online as well as in the workflow.

Parked as Complete

No more changes should be made to the invoice document.

The balance is zero. The invoice document is flagged for posting but has not yet been posted.

Planned for background verification

The invoice is to be verified in the background.

The invoice was saved online using the application Enter Invoice for invoice Verification in the Background or an older invoice document from an earlier release was converted.

Verified as incorrect

During invoice verification in the background, the system has noted differences that are too large.

During invoice verification in the background, a system error occurred, for example, some system settings are missing. No updates are made into Financial Accounting.

The invoice was held online using the application Enter Invoice for Invoice Verification in the Background (no verification)

Correct (posted, not completed)

The invoice was successfully posted using Invoice Verification in the background.

You can use this status to differentiate between invoices posted online and those posted in the background (see status Posted ).

Posted

The invoice was posted online.

The invoice was verified in the background as being correct and the status was manually changed later on.

Deleted

If you have parked an invoice or have scheduled it for background processsing, or if the invoice was verified in the background and contains errors, then you can flag the document with the status Deleted . This also applies to documents containing errors via EDI. During deletion, the invoice document header is always retained, but you can no longer access the document.

In Customizing for Logistics Invoice Verification , you can configure the system so that invoices successfully posted in the background are given the status Posted immediately. To do this, choose Start of the navigation path Invoice Verification in the Background Next navigation step Define Automatic Status Change End of the navigation path .
