Override Send to Approval as the default action

Before you start

To handle large amounts of invoices more efficiently, you can send all invoices to Approval as a default action.

If nothing is selected in the Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000) window or in the Suppliers (AP303000) window, the system will use the Approval license to define the default action.

  • If Approval is activated, the default action is Send to Approval. For Sweden, if the pre-booking functionality is also activated in Approval, the default action is Pre-book and Send to Approval.
  • If Approval is not activated, the default action is Release.

You can override these actions defined by the license, by following the instructions below.

  1. Go to the Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000) window.
  2. Go to the General settings tab.
  3. Find the Invoice inbox settings section.
  4. In the Default action for invoice inbox drop-down list, select Send to Approval. You can also set Hold or Release as a default actions here.
  5. Click icon-save.
