 The Document Parking Process with Document Release: Example

The following graphic shows an example of the document parking process in conjunction with the document release function.

A document is first parked by an accounting clerk, then sent to the person responsible for authorizing payment amounts to vendors, so that the amount can be approved for release. Next the document may be returned to the clerk for completion. Finally, the document is passed on to the person responsible for account assignment approval. He releases the account assignment and this in turn triggers the posting.

The above diagram depicts the standard procedure and does not cover special scenarios.

Examples of special scenarios are:

  • The parked document is deleted

  • Following release, a document is changed, and must therefore be re-released

  • The release is refused and the document is corrected to enable it to be released at the second attempt
