It seems that revenue arrangements are only created after the standalone customer invoice is approved. Is there a way to have NS create the RA although the invoice is not yet approved? The approver also needs to review the revenue recognition plans together with the standalone customer invoice. We are trying to avoid having a separate Revenue Arrangement approval workflow.

may I ask you for the reason of approving rev plans? Usually it is set so no approval of any kind is required for revenue piece since it is all system generated

It's not actually the plan itself but the Revenue Arrangement as a whole.

principally it is the same thing; if a user has no ability to edit rev arrs there should be no issues with the plan;

Thank you, @Karina.
