Release Object PAYMITEM (Payment Item) A
release object in the
Account Management (FS AM)
system that the system uses to determine whether the release process is required for the processing of a payment item that is processed by entry or processing staff . If this is the case, the
Framework for the Principle of Dual Control (CA GTF TS PDC)
generates a
work item that must be processed in the
Business Workplace
by a
supervisor or release user
. This payment item is not posted until it has been released.
In the Customizing settings for
Account Management (FS-AM)
you can choose
to specify that postings cannot be entered in the dialog until these are released by up to three other users (principle of dual, treble or quadruple control), depending on the transaction type, transaction currency and amount in transaction currency. In the
Framework for the Principle of Dual Control
, these users receive a work item in the
Business Workplace
and can then opt to release or reject the payment item. If the supervisor or release user rejects the payment item, he or she must enter a reason for the entry staff/author. In this case the payment item is automatically deleted. After its final release, the payment item is posted automatically.
Release via
Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI
)
and
direct input
is not implemented
.
You can use the following attributes of the payment item to define release reasons in the Customizing settings :
Transaction type
Since the release is only possible for dialog processing and so only available for turnover items, only choose transaction types for turnover items.
Amount in transaction currency
Transaction currency
The following are special methods for processing a work item, and are available in the

Release
When dual control is used, the payment item to be released receives the
Posted
status . When treble or quadruple control is used, the payment item remains

until a second or third supervisor/releaser has processed the work item.
The other methods are not available for release object

, as turnover items cannot be changed or returned.
