I've written quite a few G/L posting interfaces for different
customers.
The approvals and validations were always performed in the legacy
system and/or in the upload program.
I've never had the request for 'parking' an invoice in SAP and don't
know about any BAPI that would do that.
To me it seems that the whoever enters the invoices should be
responsible for their correctness.
I recently developed an interface to upload a file that we receive
from a customer.
In this case we realized the approval the way that we receive the file
as CSV file in a format that our AP team is able to review it. An
accountant uploads this file first in Excel and checks the data.
If it is ok, she starts an import program I have written, that puts
the data of this file in the correct file structure for RFBIBL00, the
SAP standard upload for G/L posting documents and posts it.
Maybe that would be a way for you to go.
