Approving Application for Payment
You can access this session using the Approve option in the Application for Payment (tdpur6620m000) session.
The AFP data must be validated before approving.
The validation of the Application for Payment (AFP) can be executed manually using the Application for Payment (tdpur6620m000) session. Validation can also be performed automatically during the approval because some checks are date effective, which means that they can be valid during manual validation, but not at a later moment during approval (like trade compliance validation on the warehouse shipment). Validation is always for an AFP, and you cannot validate a specific AFP-line.
option in theThe Validation Status field displays the current AFP validation status. When the AFP status is updated to In Process, the Validation Status field is set as To be Validated. After the AFP validation is completed, the Validation Status is set to Validated or Validation Error. You can view the validation errors in the Application for Payment Validation Errors (tdpur6522m000) session. The application selects the Warnings Present check box if warnings are identified during validation. The application selects the Errors Present check box if errors are identified during validation.
When validation succeeds and the Validation Status is set to Validated, the AFP status is updated to Approved and the Approve Application for Payment activity is set to executed. If validation fails, approval stops, and the AFP status remains In Process.
