  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Document > Field Status > Assign Field Status Variants to Document Types.
  Make sure that the document type and process in question have a field status variant assigned.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Field Status Variant:
