If, when checking a live posting run and the accompanying posting documents, you establish that all posting documents are technically correct and contain the right contents, you can post the posting documents. To do so, you must first of all release all posting documents for the posting run.

4. Choose Yes to release the posting documents or No to terminate the process.

The released posting documents have the status Released. If you have released all posting documents for a posting run, the posting run has the status All documents released.

You should not reset the release status. If you find errors in a posting run after releasing the posting documents, you must delete it and create a new posting run.

You can grant authorization for the release of posting documents for every company code for another person.

However, another authorization is necessary for posting the documents. This authorization is not assigned for each company code, as it is only possible to post all posting documents for a posting run (which may belong to different company codes) at the same time. Posting posting documents should therefore be seen as a technical step, as the person responsible for the individual company codes has already given their approval for posting the posting documents by releasing them.

You can set up a workflow for the release of posting documents. The PayrollAccDocument.Release method from the business object BUS7009 is used in this workflow. In Customizing, choose Basis ® Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow ® Perform Task-Specific Customizing, and from there, choose the following path from the component hierarchy under Payroll ® Payroll: General Parts ® Transfer, to make settings for the task Release posting document.

The standard task PY_EVDOCREL is provided as a model. When this event is triggered, the task sends a work item containing the above method.
