Default approved by setup in AP Invoice register

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 22,809 Most Valuable Professional

Hello,

Is there any way to setup a default "approved by" in AP invoice register and Invoice journal  both?

Note- this is not about workflow but about the field in invoice register and invoice journal.

Regards,

Ramit

    Hi Ramit,

    Yes. If your system user is assigned to an employee then this employee will default whenever you create an invoice journal/registration journal.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    Yes, Maybe you can go to->System administration->Security->Security configuration, different roles have different duties and privileges.

     You can make some Settings to meet your business transaction needs.

    Hello,

    I also have the same requirements but I don't seem to get this working. I have an user with an HR user but the field approved by is still blank when I create an invoice register. Is there any other setup that I need to do?

    I have the same issue.

    Invoice Journal, it gets filled in automatiically, but in the invoice register it stays empty and I'm obligated to enter it myself.

    Have you already found a solution to this?

    When the Vendor invoice register approved feature is enabled, the AP clerk can decide if the Approved by field is mandatory. Go to Accounts payable parameters > Invoice > Invoice register, and set the Approved by field to one of the following values:

    • Required – The Approved by field must be set before the invoice register journal can be posted.
    • Optional – The invoice register journal can be posted without approval.

    This one is still not working as Microsoft states it should. The "Approved by" is not inheriting automatically the user who creates the invoice register entry - although the Feature is ON and the user is linked to the worker. So still manually should be browsed in the "Approved by" field.
