areas of application.
Youcanalternativelyalsocheckparkeddocumentsfortheircompleteness. You
can check, for example, whether thedocument balanceis zero andwhether all
mandatoryfields(e. g. PostingkeyandAccountnumber)arefilledout. Account
assignmenttemplatescanbeused, but not reference documents, when parking
documents. Cross-company-code transactions can also be parked. Only one
parked document is created in the initial company code for such transactions
(twodocumentswithacross-applicationnumberarethencreatedasusualwhen

Neithertransactionfigures,assetvalues,etc. norcontroltotalsareupdatedwhen
securing parked documents. No automatic postings are created either. The

At the right point of time: The process level describes the business process
in a sequence of individual steps. The workflow definition is the total of all

To the right processor: The organizational level establishes a link to the
organizational structure.

The release procedure is represented by subworkflows in the workflow
terminology. For document parking, workflow variants (in combination with
release approval paths) are assigned amounts, which determine the release
procedurestobeinitiatedandperformed. Thesubworkflowscontroltheindividual

Exercise 8: Document Parking and
Workflow
Exercise Objectives
After completingthisexercise, youwillbeableto:
• Understandtheprocessforparkingdocumentsaspartoftheworkflow
Business Example
In your company, you want to use a workflow for document parking. For
documents over 500 EUR, the amount should be released by an authorized
employee.
Task:
Firstyoumakesurethattheworkflowvariant1000isdefinedforyourcompany
code. You then park the document and thus start a workflow. Next, another
employee receives the parked document for further processing (to release the
amount). Youlogonunderadifferentusernameandreleasetheamountforyour
document.
1. MakesureWorkflowvariant1000(VariantIDESFIPP-WF)isdefinedfor
your company code AC##.
2. Document parking and processing (workflow variant 1000): Park a
document for a vendor invoice in your company code (AC##) (vendor
AC202-## for EUR 700).
Makesure that you enter theinvoicewith the park document transaction
FV60 (Accounts Payable → Document Entry → Document Parking →
Park or Edit Invoice).
