Set Up Check Approvals

You can set up check approvals using the Configure Accounts Payable Settings and Configure Approver Settings screens.

To set up check approvals:

  1. On the Configure Accounts Payable Settings screen, select the Set Limit check box, and enter an amount in the Limit Amount field.

    Any checks that fall under the limit are automatically approved. Any combination of vouchers that combine to form a check that exceeds the amount of the limit for automatic check approval must be approved on this screen.

    Each row on the Approve Checks screen constitutes a summary row of all the vouchers that combine to make up a single check. To see the individual vouchers that underlie each check, highlight the row of the check and click the Check Detail button.

  2. On the Configure Approver Settings screen, specify the approvers.
  3. Select the line for each approver and select the Link Users subtask of the Configure Approver Settings screen.

    Set up the users that this approver has authority to approve. Users should include their own user IDs on the Link Users subtask if they are authorized to approve the vouchers that they enter.
