Release Object PAOR (Payment Order)

An Account Management (FS-AM) release object used by the system to identify whether the editing of a payment order by an author/processor is subject to release. If it is, the Framework for the Principle of Dual Control (CA-GTF-TS-PDC) generates a work item that must be processed further by a supervisor or user responsible for release in Business Workplace.

Customizing

You make the settings for release object PAOR (payment order) and its release attributes in Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Start of the navigation path Order Management Next navigation step Payment Order Release End of the navigation path in the following Customizing activities:

Assign Release Procedure to Release Object
Assign Rules to Release Steps
Assign Release Procedure Workflow to the Release Procedure
Define Rejection Reasons

Channel

Dialog
The following transactions must be released if you have made the corresponding setting in Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM):
- Create payment order
- Reverse payment order
The system checks whether the dialog processing of the payment order in question is subject to release and generates a work item for every release-relevant payment order editing. If a payment order is no longer relevant for release once it has been edited, the related work item is deleted.

Note

If you change a payment order that is subject to release, the system closes the old release workflow and triggers a new one.

End of the note.
Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI)
The following transactions are subject to release if set accordingly in the Customizing settings and if the Deactivate Release Workflow checkbox is not set in the corresponding BAPI:
- PaymentOrder.Cancel
- PaymentOrder.Create
The system checks as for dialog processing whether editing a payment order via BAPIs is subject to release. If this is the case, the system generates a work item for every release-relevant payment order editing. If a payment order is no longer relevant for release once it has been edited, this work item is deleted again.

Methods for the Release Object in SAP Business Workplace

You can edit release object PAOR (payment order) as a work item in SAP Business Workplace. This can affect the order status of the payment order. For more information, see Status and Release Status of Payment Order.

Display
Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the dialog transaction Display Payment Order.
Change
Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the dialog transaction Change Standing Order. Due to the status of the payment order (in release), in this transaction only changing and posting in one step is permitted. Depending on whether or not the payment order with the changed data is again subject to release, the old status remains (in release) or the system assigns a new status, depending on the further processing.

For more information, see Editing Payment Orders.
Display Change Documents
Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the selection screen of the Display Change Documents transaction for the payment order, provided you have changed the underlying payment order and change documents exist.

Release

This method in SAP Business Workplace can change the status and release status of the payment order as follows:

Before Release		After Release
Status of Payment Order	Activity Resulting in Release	Release Status	System Activity	Status of Payment Order
In release	Post	Not in release	The system posts the payment order when you save it on the Release Payment Order screen, provided there are no formal or material errors preventing the posting.	The system assigns this accordingly on the basis of the further processing, if formal or material errors have occurred.
In release	Reverse	Not in release	The system reverses the payment order provided there are no other formal or material error preventing the reversal.	The system assigns this accordingly on the basis of the further processing, if formal or material errors have occurred.

Note Note

The In Release status represents the following “internal” statuses of the release workflow that the system only displays in the context of the release workflow. However, in the Status field of the individual payment order transactions, you can always find the general In Release status when the payment order in question is in the release process.
