About this Screen

This screen is used to approve invoices that are assigned to you employee ID. Learn more about invoice approvals.  All invoices that are ready to be approved by your employee ID will appear on this screen.

How are Invoices Assigned?

Invoices are assigned to you if you are a default approver of a vendor (configured in the Vendor Configuration) or if you have been assigned to approve an invoice in the Organize Invoices for Approval/Payment screen. Your profile to approve invoices is configured in the Accounts Payable Workflow Controls screen.  You may also receive email notifications alerting you that an invoice is assigned to you.  Learn more about invoice approvals notifications.  (As long as the invoice is not yet approved, you can assign a different approver to it using this screen.)

Using this Screen

Use the buttons and options (described below) to review the details of the invoice.  (All columns with a colored header are sortable.)  Then select the item(s) you wish to approve by checking the first column.  The Total Amount Approved for Payment and Total Items Approved for Payment will update as you use Enter.  When you have completed your approvals, use the "Done" button to exit the screen.  All checked (approved) invoices will then appear on the Organize Invoices for Approval/Payment screen so that they can then be prepared for payment.  (The Approver ID (Employee ID) and Approval Date are then populated in the APOPEN table.)

 

If you do not wish to approve any invoices at this time, use the Unmark All Items button to deselect any items that have been checked and use the "Done" button to exit the screen.  You can also use the up arrow to exit the screen
