Comments

The payment approval level in the user record (NIVBONPAYE) indicates the maximum modification level for which the user has been granted the authorization.

• If this is equal to "Payment approval", the user can select all the payment approval values up to the payment approval itself. Then, during payment entry, a warning message warns the user about which open items are without payment approval;
• If this is less that the "Payment approval", the user can then set all the values with the maximum authorized value. Then, on payment entry, a blocking message prevents the picking or selection of an open item where the level is less than the Payment approval.

The parameter (CTLPAZ) defined at user level is used to choose whether the control on the payment approvals during the entry or picking of the open item must be:

• Blocking
• Non-blocking

Thus, if the control by parameter is blocking, irrespective of the authorized value in modification at user level, it is impossible at payment entry level to carry out a picking of an open item without payment approval. Conversely, if the control by parameter is non-blocking, then, in payment entry, the messages apply in conformity to the user rule defined above.
