Object technology is used to create the interface between the R/3 functions and the Workflow system. The information given below is primarily of a technical nature and is not necessary for an initial overview:

The actual operational procedure is implemented as a workflow template. You will find this workflow template in your R/3 System.

Description: Handling invoices blocked due to price

The triggering event for the workflow template is IncomingInvoice.blockedPrice (Invoice item blocked due to price variance).

This coupling between the event and the workflow template to be started is deactivated in the standard system. If you want to use the workflow template, you have to activate it in Customizing for Logistics Invoice Verification.

You check and release invoice items that are blocked for price reasons at the following organizational levels. The processor is also determined at these levels.

If you have already maintained an organizational plan, you can use it here.

If there is no organizational plan, you need to create a Purchasing department. For each purchasing group, you define a position and link it to the entries in table T024. You define the users for each position.

If you have already maintained an organizational unit, you can use it here.

If there is no organizational unit, you need to create the organizational unit Invoice Verification.

Link the organizational unit to the single-step task TS20000704:

• By simple processor assignment

• By defining a specific role
