We frequently import bills (from SIC) to multiple projects at a time in order to upload payroll costs, credit card charges, etc to projects in SCM.
In doing so, these bills default to a status of "pending". In reality, these bills have already gone through the necessary approvals etc in SIC.
Ideally, it would be feasible to bring bills in from the ERP system (SIC) without necessitating the workflow that applies for bills created within SCM. Ideally, these bills would also be brought in via the accounting link, and not via an upload.
