Transactional Impact for Workflow Based Invoice Approvals

Sales Orders – When you create an invoice from a sales order, the sales order status changes from Pending Billing to Fully Billed.

Payments – If an invoice isn't approved, it won't show up in the customer payment queue. When it's approved, the invoice appears in the customer payment queue.

Inventory-standalone invoices – When pending approval invoices are created, there's no inventory impact. When the approval status changes to approved, quantity on-hand and quantity available are both decremented.

Inventory-Advanced Shipping – When Advanced Shipping is on, pending approval invoices created against sales orders don't affect inventory. When Advanced Shipping is on and when the approval status of an invoice changes from pending approval to approved, quantity on-hand decreases in these areas:

• at the location

• inventory number

• bin level

Quantity available is decreased at the inventory numbers level if you didn't enter inventory numbers on the sales order.

Accounting – Transaction are non-posting until their state changes from pending approval to approved.

Revenue recognition – When invoices require approval, related revenue recognition schedules aren't created until they're approved.
