## 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)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-ledger-preferences-ap101000/index.md) window or in the [Suppliers (AP303000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/suppliers-ap303000/index.md) 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)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-ledger-preferences-ap101000/index.md) window.
1. Go to the **General settings** tab.
1. Find the **Invoice inbox settings** section.
1. 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.
1. Click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).
