In SAP S/4HANA, when is the system allowed to bypass manual invoice checks?

In SAP S/4HANA, allowing the system to bypass manual invoice checks is typically associated with specific transaction types to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. Cash sales, for instance, are characterized by immediate payment at the point of sale. Since the customer is making a payment right away, there is less need for extensive manual checks typically associated with credit sales that may involve risk assessments or order confirmations.

By enabling the system to skip manual invoice checks for cash sales, organizations can expedite the sales process, enhance customer satisfaction through faster service, and reduce administrative workload. This permission aligns with the nature of cash transactions, where the financial commitment is secured at the time of sale, minimizing potential disputes or discrepancies that would require checks on the invoice.

The other choices do not present scenarios where bypassing checks is as relevant or effective. Automated processes may involve their own checks, fiscal year-end closures typically prioritize accuracy and compliance, and customer approval would not generally pertain to bypassing checks in the context of standard transaction processing.
