Read the requirements before issuing a bill

Resolve missing saved details in the current document.

Updated 2026-11-11

The native document workflow displays requirements for the next available action. Use them to identify missing supplier information, dates, lines, accounts or current book setup before trying to issue a bill. A saved draft is an intermediate record, not proof that every posting requirement is complete.

Open the draft and compare each flagged item with the source document. Correct the underlying field and save the change. The issuance process reviews the saved version, so unsaved edits cannot resolve a requirement attached to the earlier draft.

If access or book-policy evidence could not be checked, refresh that evidence or use Review book settings as directed. Do not interpret an unavailable check as permission to post or as a permanent denial of a feature.

When the requirements are satisfied, review the exact issuance action your access permits. Some users can issue directly, while others prepare a review request. Confirm the final document status and resulting history after the authorized action rather than assuming the bill was issued because the form closed.
